Page history
Changes are dated when recorded; day views use the last saved version from that UTC day, and citations stay fixed.
CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.
No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

netfilter: ip6t_rpfilter: reject routes without inet6_dev
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ip6t_rpfilter: reject routes without inet6_dev
ip6_route_lookup() can return an error-free route whose rt6i_idev is
NULL. Lowering an external nexthop device's MTU below IPV6_MIN_MTU tears
down its inet6_dev while fib6_ifdown() leaves routes using nexthop objects
in the FIB. An unprivileged user can construct this state with rtnetlink
in a private user and network namespace, then trigger a NULL dereference
through an IPv6 rpfilter lookup:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0xdffffc0000000000
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]

Reject routes without an inet6_dev immediately after lookup. Such routes
are not eligible for reverse-path filtering, and the check protects all
later rt6i_idev dereferences.
