| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: seg6: fix parameter passing when calling NF_HOOK() in End.DX4 and End.DX6 behaviors input_action_end_dx4() and input_action_end_dx6() are called NF_HOOK() for PREROUTING hook, in PREROUTING hook, we should passing a valid indev, and a NULL outdev to NF_HOOK(), otherwise may trigger a NULL pointer dereference, as below: [74830.647293] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000090 [74830.655633] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [74830.657888] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [74830.659500] PGD 0 P4D 0 [74830.660450] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI ...
