Because addrconf_ifdown() can concurrently clear dev->ip6_ptr\nvia RCU, __in6_dev_get() can return NULL during interface teardown, which\ncould cause a NULL pointer dereference when processing an IOAM Hop-by-Hop\noption.\n\nLet's add a check and use SKB_DROP_REASON_IPV6DISABLED accordingly.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/09cbfd4b81ae90963dadb1de99b63b702e73290a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1dca7e491f070ac49b3d934f16ee953a53b37f38","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/902daac307eb7e1955ce05b071950f3cba88c963","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/abdd03229414b5a52943b65a60f34b84cea5ac59","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c7e8971abd70e9d022f1c251ba2508f8dc7f2db8"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:45:36.895656543+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64116","score":0.00511,"percentile":0.43655,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
