VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 5.15.19-cloudflare-2022.2.1
Description The vulnerability is related to the mld newpack() function in the net/ipv6/mcast.c module of the Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation. It is caused by incorrect synchronization, which can lead to a denial of service. The issue arises from the use of an rcu-unsafe version of ipv6 get lladdr() after external locks were removed. This can result in a general protection fault and cause the machine to crash or stall.
Recommendations To resolve the issue, update the Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix for the ipv6: mcast: use rcu-safe version of ipv6 get lladdr() vulnerability. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
