CVE-2026-43099

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:
06/05/2026
Last modified:

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ipv4: icmp: fix null-ptr-deref in icmp_build_probe()<br /> <br /> ipv6_stub-&gt;ipv6_dev_find() may return ERR_PTR(-EAFNOSUPPORT) when the<br /> IPv6 stack is not active (CONFIG_IPV6=m and not loaded), and passing<br /> this error pointer to dev_hold() will cause a kernel crash with<br /> null-ptr-deref.<br /> <br /> Instead, silently discard the request. RFC 8335 does not appear to<br /> define a specific response for the case where an IPv6 interface<br /> identifier is syntactically valid but the implementation cannot perform<br /> the lookup at runtime, and silently dropping the request may safer than<br /> misreporting "No Such Interface".
