In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: ioam: fix potential NULL dereferences in __ioam6_fill_trace_data() We need to check __in6_dev_get() for possible NULL value, as suggested by Yiming Qian. Also add skb_dst_dev_rcu() instead of skb_dst_dev(), and two missing READ_ONCE(). Note that @dev can't be NULL.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ipv6: ioam: fix potential NULL dereferences in __ioam6_fill_trace_data() We need to check __in6_dev_get()     for possible NULL value, as suggested by Yiming Qian. Also add skb_dst_dev_rcu() instead of skb_dst_dev(),     and two missing READ_ONCE(). Note that @dev can't be NULL. (CVE-2026-43101)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
