Jun 20, 2024 cve

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: sr: fix invalid unregister error path

The error path of seg6_init() is wrong in case CONFIG_IPV6_SEG6_LWTUNNEL is not defined. In that case if seg6_hmac_init() fails the genl_unregister_family() isn’t called.

This issue exist since commit 46738b1317e1 (\ipv6: sr: add option to control lwtunnel support) and commit 5559cea2d5aa (\ipv6: sr: fix possible use-after-free and null-ptr-deref) replaced unregister_pernet_subsys() with genl_unregister_family() in this error path.
