Vulnerability: The icmp6_send function in net/ipv6/icmp.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.12 omits a certain check of the dst data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via a fragmented IPv6 packet.
Vulnerability ID: CVE-2016-9919
CWE: CWE-20
Severity score: 6.9
Project: https://github.com/torvalds/linux
Published: 2016-12-08
File: net/ipv6/icmp.c
Commit message: net: handle no dst on skb in icmp6_send

Andrey reported the following while fuzzing the kernel with syzkaller:

kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled

icmp6_send / icmpv6_send is invoked for both rx and tx paths. In both
cases the dst->dev should be preferred for determining the L3 domain
if the dst has been set on the skb. Fallback to the skb->dev if it has
not. This covers the case reported here where icmp6_send is invoked on
Rx before the route lookup.
