In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: fix devconf_all NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the devconf_all is
never initialized because inet6_init() exits before addrconf_init() is
called which initializes it. bond_send_validate(), however, will still
call bond_ns_send_all() even ipv6 is indeed disabled. It will lead to
NULL derefence of net->ipv6.devconf_all in ip6_pol_route().

Fix this by adding ipv6_mod_enabled() condition check in the caller.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's bonding module. When a system is booted with IPv6 disabled, the bonding module incorrectly attempts to send IPv6 Network Service (NS) packets. This leads to a null pointer dereference, which is an attempt to access uninitialized memory. The consequence of this flaw is a kernel panic, resulting in a system crash and a Denial of Service (DoS).
