Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.5/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: Fix icmp host relookup triggering ip_rt_bug
arp link failure may trigger ip_rt_bug while xfrm enabled, call trace is:

The script below reproduces this scenario:
ip xfrm policy add src 0.0.0.0/0 dst 0.0.0.0/0
dir out priority 0 ptype main flag localok icmp
ip l a veth1 type veth
ip a a 192.168.141.111/24 dev veth0
ip l s veth0 up
ping 192.168.141.155 -c 1
icmp_route_lookup() create input routes for locally generated packets
while xfrm relookup ICMP traffic.Then it will set input route
(dst->out = ip_rt_bug) to skb for DESTUNREACH.
For ICMP err triggered by locally generated packets, dst->dev of output
route is loopback. Generally, xfrm relookup verification is not required
on loopback interfaces (net.ipv4.conf.lo.disable_xfrm = 1).…
