Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-27 15:07:29 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipvs: skip ipv6 extension headers for csum checks

Protocol checksum validation fails for IPv6 if there are extension
headers before the protocol header. iph->len already contains its
offset, so use it to fix the problem.
