CVE-2022-49904

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

net, neigh: Fix null-ptr-deref in neigh_table_clear()

When IPv6 module gets initialized but hits an error in the middle,
kenel panic with:

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000598-0x000000000000059f]
CPU: 1 PID: 361 Comm: insmod
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
RIP: 0010:__neigh_ifdown.isra.0+0x24b/0x370
RSP: 0018:ffff888012677908 EFLAGS: 00000202
...
Call Trace:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

When ipv6 initialization fails, it will try to cleanup and calls:

neigh_table_clear()
  neigh_ifdown(tbl, NULL)
    pneigh_queue_purge(&tbl->proxy_queue, dev_net(dev == NULL))
    # dev_net(NULL) triggers null-ptr-deref.

Fix it by passing NULL to pneigh_queue_purge() in neigh_ifdown() if dev
is NULL, to make kernel not panic immediately.
