CVE-2024-44989: kernel: bonding: fix xfrm real_dev null pointer dereference
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CWE: CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference)
CVSS v3: 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Public date: 2024-09-04T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bonding: fix xfrm real_dev null pointer dereference

We shouldn't set real_dev to NULL because packets can be in transit and
xfrm might call xdo_dev_offload_ok() in parallel. All callbacks assume
real_dev is set.
