| Doc Text: |
A flaw was identified in the Linux kernel’s IPv6 networking code in the function __ip6_make_skb(). Under certain conditions—such as when using raw IPv6 sockets and processing ICMPv6 headers—the code may access an uninitialized variable because the expected header data is not guaranteed to reside in the linear portion of the socket buffer (skb). This can lead to unpredictable behavior, including potential kernel instability or crash
