NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-core package and not the kernel-core package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix potential "struct net" leak in inet6_rtm_getaddr()
It seems that if userspace provides a correct IFA_TARGET_NETNSID value but no IFA_ADDRESS and IFA_LOCAL attributes, inet6_rtm_getaddr() returns -EINVAL with an elevated "struct net" refcount.
