CVE-2023-53343: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  icmp6: Fix null-ptr-deref of ip6_null_entry->rt6i_idev in icmp6_dev().  With some IPv6 Ext Hdr (RPL, SRv6, etc.), we can send a packet that has the link-local address as src and dst IP and will be forwarded to an external IP in the IPv6 Ext Hdr.  For example, the script below generates a packet whose src IP is the link-local address and dst is updated to 11::.    # for f in $(find /proc/sys/net/ -name *seg6_enabled*); do echo 1 > $f; done   # python3   >>> from socket import *   >>> from scapy.all import *   >>>   >>> SRC_ADDR = DST_ADDR = "fe80::5054:ff:fe12:3456"   >>>   >>> pkt = IPv6(src=SRC_ADDR, dst=DST_ADDR)   >>> pkt /= IPv6ExtHdrSegmentRouting(type=4, addresses=["11::", "22::"], segleft=1)   >>>   >>> sk = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW)   >>> sk.sendto(bytes(pkt), (DST_ADDR, 0))  For such a packet, we call ip6_route_input() to look up a route for the next destination in these three functions depending on the header type.    * ipv6_rthdr_rcv()   * ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv()   * ipv6_srh_rcv()  If no route is found, ip6_null_entry is set to skb, and the following dst_input(skb) calls ip6_pkt_drop().  Finally, in icmp6_dev(), we dereference skb_rt6_info(skb)->rt6i_idev->dev as the input device is the loopback interface.  Then, we have to check if skb_rt6_info(skb)->rt6i_idev is NULL or not to avoid NULL pointer deref for ip6_null_entry.
