CVE-2024-36903

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to a potential uninit-value access in the ip6 make skb() function. To avoid a race condition, the code now checks FLOWI FLAG KNOWN NH on fl6->flowi6 flags instead of testing HDRINCL on the socket. This change was made to fix a potential vulnerability, similar to a fix made for IPv4 in commit fc1092f51567.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
