Title
ipv6: prevent possible NULL deref in fib6_nh_init()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: prevent possible NULL deref in fib6_nh_init()
syzbot reminds us that in6_dev_get() can return NULL.
fib6_nh_init()
ip6_validate_gw( &idev )
ip6_route_check_nh( idev )
*idev = in6_dev_get(dev); // can be NULL

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
