CVE: CVE-2024-26633
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-20
Severity: Low
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2024-03-18T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ip6_tunnel: fix NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT handling in ip6_tnl_parse_tlv_enc_lim()

syzbot pointed out [1] that NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT handling is broken.

Reading frag_off can only be done if we pulled enough bytes
to skb->head. Currently we might access garbage.
