CVE-2025-38006

net: mctp: Don't access ifa_index when missing

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

net: mctp: Don't access ifa_index when missing

In mctp_dump_addrinfo, ifa_index can be used to filter interfaces, but
only when the struct ifaddrmsg is provided. Otherwise it will be
comparing to uninitialised memory - reproducible in the syzkaller case from
dhcpd, or busybox "ip addr show".

The kernel MCTP implementation has always filtered by ifa_index, so
existing userspace programs expecting to dump MCTP addresses must
already be passing a valid ifa_index value (either 0 or a real index).
