CVE-2024-44987 (2024)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: prevent UAF in ip6_send_skb()

syzbot reported an UAF in ip6_send_skb() [1]

After ip6_local_out() has returned, we no longer can safely
dereference rt, unless we hold rcu_read_lock().

A similar issue has been fixed in commit
a688caa34beb ("ipv6: take rcu lock in rawv6_send_hdrinc()")

Another potential issue in ip6_finish_output2() is handled in a
separate patch.
