CVSS 3.1
7.8 highCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2024-44986
High (7.8). EPSS 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix possible UAF in ip6_finish_output2()
If skb_expand_head() returns NULL, skb has been freed
and associated dst/idev could also have been freed.
We need to hold rcu_read_lock() to make sure the dst and
associated idev are alive.
