This creates a desync between\ninner_thoff (wrong — points to extension header start) and l4proto\n(correct — e.g., IPPROTO_TCP), enabling transport header forgery\nand potential firewall bypass. This issue affects stable versions\nfrom Linux 6.2.\n\nFor comparison, the normal (non-inner) IPv6 path correctly\npreserves ipv6_find_hdr()'s result. Removing the incorrect overwrite\nensures that ipv6_find_hdr()'s calculated transport header offset is\npreserved, thereby fixing the desynchronization.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-06-03T15:48:59.049+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T19:36:55.855+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
