Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: exthdrs: refresh nh pointer after ipv6_hop_jumbo()
ipv6_hop_jumbo() calls pskb_trim_rcsum(), which can change skb pointers.
Let's recompute nh pointer to make sure any change won't mess things up.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of IPv6 extended headers. Specifically, the ipv6_hop_jumbo() function, which processes jumbo payloads, can modify internal packet buffer (skb) pointers. However, the network header (nh) pointer is not recomputed after these modifications. This oversight could lead to incorrect data processing, potentially causing system instability or a denial of service (DoS) due to malformed packets.
