Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's bonding network interface. When IPv6 is disabled and bonding ARP/NS validation is enabled, a specially crafted IPv6 Neighbor Solicitation (NS) or Neighbor Advertisement (NA) packet received on a slave interface can trigger a NULL pointer dereference. This vulnerability can lead to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
