This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled icmp: prevent possible NULL dereferences from icmp_build_probe() to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: icmp-prevent-possible-null-dereferences-from-icmp_bu.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 61a815e63670ad172fef07da2a19e8c09485798f Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Apr 20 07:01:16 2024 +0000 icmp: prevent possible NULL dereferences from icmp_build_probe() [ Upstream commit c58e88d49097bd12dfcfef4f075b43f5d5830941 ] First problem is a double call to __in_dev_get_rcu(), because the second one could return NULL. if (__in_dev_get_rcu(dev) && __in_dev_get_rcu(dev)->ifa_list) Second problem is a read from dev->ip6_ptr with no NULL check: if (!list_empty(&rcu_dereference(dev->ip6_ptr)->addr_list)) Use the correct RCU API to fix these. v2: add missing include <net/addrconf.h> Fixes: d329ea5bd884 ("icmp: add response to RFC 8335 PROBE messages") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andreas Roeseler <andreas.a.roeseler@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
