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

ipv6: Fix null-ptr-deref in fib6_nh_mtu_change().

fib6_nh_mtu_change() re-fetches idev via __in6_dev_get(arg->dev) and
dereferences idev->cnf.mtu6 without a NULL check. addrconf_ifdown()
clears dev->ip6_ptr with RCU_INIT_POINTER() after rt6_disable_ip() has
released tb6_lock, so the RA-driven MTU walk can observe a NULL idev and
oops. The caller rt6_mtu_change_route() guards its own __in6_dev_get(),
but this re-fetch is unguarded; nexthop-backed routes survive
addrconf_ifdown()'s flush, so the walk still reaches it after ip6_ptr is
nulled.

Return 0 when idev is NULL, matching rt6_mtu_change_route() and the
fib6_mtu() fix in commit 5ad509c1fdad ("ipv6: Fix null-ptr-deref in
fib6_mtu().").
