CVE-2026-68336 — bonding: fix devconf_all NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled

Affected: Linux

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

bonding: fix devconf_all NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled

When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the devconf_all is never initialized because inet6_init() exits before addrconf_init() is called which initializes it. bond_send_validate(), however, will still call bond_ns_send_all() even ipv6 is indeed disabled. It will lead to NULL derefence of net->ipv6.devconf_all in ip6_pol_route().

Fix this by adding ipv6_mod_enabled() condition check in the caller.

It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly perform Reverse Map Table (RMP) checks when the IOMMU accessed certain host buffers. A local attacker with hypervisor access could possibly use this to trigger an out-of-bounds condition and compromise the integrity of SEV-SNP guest memory. (CVE-2023-20585)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - NVDIMM (Non-Volatile Memory Device) drivers; - Handshake API; - ARM32 architecture; - MIPS architecture; - OpenRISC architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Intel NPU Driver; - ACPI drivers; - Android drivers; - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers; - Drivers core; - Rados block device (RBD) driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Cdrom driver; - Character device driver; - TPM device driver; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - CXL (Compute Express Link) drivers; - DAX dirext access to differentiated memory framework; - DIBS (Direct Internal Buffer Sharing) drivers; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - DMA engine subsystem; - DPLL subsystem; - EDAC drivers; - FireWire subsystem; - Arm Firmware Framework fo…
