SUSE: CVE-2024-36008: SUSE Linux Security Advisory

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

ipv4: check for NULL idev in ip_route_use_hint()

syzbot was able to trigger a NULL deref in fib_validate_source()
in an old tree [1].

It appears the bug exists in latest trees.

All calls to __in_dev_get_rcu() must be checked for a NULL result.
