CVE-2024-44990

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's bonding module. A local attacker could exploit a null pointer dereference in the bond_ipsec_offload_ok function. This occurs because the system does not verify the presence of an active slave before attempting to dereference a pointer, which can lead to a system crash and result in a Denial of Service (DoS).
