This code path eventually calls fib_compute_spec_dst()\nwhich dereferences skb->dev. An attempt was made to fix the NULL skb->dev\ndereference in commit 0113d9c9d1cc (\"ipv4: fix null-deref in\nipv4_link_failure\"), but it only addressed the immediate dev_net(skb->dev)\ndereference by using a fallback device. The fix was incomplete because\nfib_compute_spec_dst() later in the call chain still accesses skb->dev\ndirectly, which remains NULL when IPVS calls dst_link_failure().\n\nThe crash occurs when:\n1. IPVS processes a packet in NAT mode with a misconfigured destination\n2. Route lookup fails in __ip_vs_get_out_rt() before establishing a route\n3. The error path calls dst_link_failure(skb) with skb->dev == NULL\n4. ipv4_link_failure() → ipv4_send_dest_unreach() →\n __ip_options_compile() → fib_compute_spec_dst()\n5. fib_compute_spec_dst() dereferences NULL skb->dev\n\nApply the same fix used for IPv6 in commit 326bf17ea5d4 (\"ipvs: fix\nipv6 route unreach panic\"): set skb->dev from skb_dst(skb)->dev before\ncalling dst_link_failure().\n\nKASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000328-0x000000000000032f]\nCPU: 1 PID: 12732 Comm: syz.1.3469 Not tainted 6.6.114 #2\nRIP: 0010:__in_dev_get_rcu
