Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: mctp: Don&#39;t access ifa_index when missing<br />
<br />
In mctp_dump_addrinfo, ifa_index can be used to filter interfaces, but<br />
only when the struct ifaddrmsg is provided. Otherwise it will be<br />
comparing to uninitialised memory - reproducible in the syzkaller case from<br />
dhcpd, or busybox "ip addr show".<br />
<br />
The kernel MCTP implementation has always filtered by ifa_index, so<br />
existing userspace programs expecting to dump MCTP addresses must<br />
already be passing a valid ifa_index value (either 0 or a real index).<br />
<br />
