CVE-2025-68353
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: vxlan: prevent NULL deref in vxlan_xmit_one
Neither sock4 nor sock6 pointers are guaranteed to be non-NULL in vxlan_xmit_one, e.g. if the iface is brought down. This can lead to the following NULL dereference:
Mentioned commits changed the code path in vxlan_xmit_one and as a side effect the sock4/6 pointer validity checks in vxlan(6)_get_route were lost. Fix this by adding back checks.
Since both commits being fixed were released in the same version (v6.7) and are strongly related, bundle the fixes in a single commit.
