Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-19 16:02:08 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: exthdrs: refresh nh after handling HAO option

ip6_parse_tlv() caches skb_network_header(skb) in nh while walking
IPv6 TLVs.

ipv6_dest_hao() may call pskb_expand_head() for a cloned skb, which can
move the skb head and invalidate the cached network header pointer.
Refresh nh after ipv6_dest_hao() returns so any trailing padding or TLVs
are parsed from the current skb head.

This matches the existing pattern used in ip6_parse_tlv() after helpers
that can modify skb header storage.
