CVE-2024-38612 ipv6: sr: fix invalid unregister error path

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: sr: fix invalid unregister error path The error path of seg6init is wrong in case CONFIGIPV6SEG6LWTUNNEL is not defined. In that case if seg6hmacinit fails, the genlunregisterfamily isn't called. This issue exist since comm...

CVE-2024-38612

CVE-2024-38612 affects the Linux kernel; the flaw is in the ipv6 SR (seg6) unregister path. The error path in seg6_init() can skip genl_unregister_family() if CONFIG_IPV6_SEG6_LWTUNNEL is not defined and seg6_hmac_init() fails, due to a changed cleanup path (unregister_pernet_subsys() replaced by...

The vulnerability of the seg6_init() function in the net/ipv6/seg6.c module of the Linux operating system’s IPv6 kernel implementation allows a attacker to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the seg6init function in the net/ipv6/seg6.c module of the Linux operating system’s IPv6 kernel implementation is related to the repeated use of previously freed memory. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a service failure...
