CVE-2025-38184
tipc: fix null-ptr-deref when acquiring remote ip of ethernet bearer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix null-ptr-deref when acquiring remote ip of ethernet bearer
The reproduction steps:
1. create a tun interface
2. enable l2 bearer
3. TIPC_NL_UDP_GET_REMOTEIP with media name set to tun
tipc: Started in network mode
tipc: Node identity 8af312d38a21, cluster identity 4711
tipc: Enabled bearer <eth:syz_tun>, priority 1
Oops: general protection fault
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range
CPU: 1 UID: 1000 PID: 559 Comm: poc Not tainted 6.16.0-rc1+ #117 PREEMPT
Hardware name: QEMU Ubuntu 24.04 PC
RIP: 0010:tipc_udp_nl_dump_remoteip+0x4a4/0x8f0
the ub was in fact a struct dev.
when bid != 0 && skip_cnt != 0, bearer_list[bid] may be NULL or
other media when other thread changes it.
fix this by checking media_id.
