In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: vxlan: prevent NULL deref in vxlan_xmit_one
Neither sock4 nor sock6 pointers are guaranteed to be non-NULL in
vxlan_xmit_one, e.g. if the iface is brought down. This can lead to the
following NULL dereference:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
RIP: 0010:vxlan_xmit_one+0xbb3/0x1580
Call Trace:
vxlan_xmit+0x429/0x610
dev_hard_start_xmit+0x55/0xa0
__dev_queue_xmit+0x6d0/0x7f0
ip_finish_output2+0x24b/0x590
ip_output+0x63/0x110
Mentioned commits changed the code path in vxlan_xmit_one and as a side
effect the sock4/6 pointer validity checks in vxlan(6)_get_route were
lost. Fix this by adding back checks.
Since both commits being fixed were released in the same version (v6.7)
and are strongly related, bundle the fixes in a single commit.

BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
The score's inputs: In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
