    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ipv6: prevent NULL dereference in ip6_output()

    According to syzbot, there is a chance that ip6_dst_idev()
    returns NULL in ip6_output(). Most places in IPv6 stack
    deal with a NULL idev just fine, but not here.

    syzbot reported:
