{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38476","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  rpl: Fix use-after-free in rpl_do_srh_inline().  Running lwt_dst_cache_ref_loop.sh in selftest with KASAN triggers the splat below [0].  rpl_do_srh_inline() fetches ipv6_hdr(skb) and accesses it after skb_cow_head(), which is illegal as the header could be freed then.  Let's fix it by making oldhdr to a local struct instead of a pointer.  [0]: [root@fedora net]# ./lwt_dst_cache_ref_loop.sh ...
