The pskb_expand_head()\ncontract requires pointers into the skb header to be reloaded after the\ncall.\n\nIf the later skb_realloc_headroom() branch is not taken, SIT uses the\nstale iph6 pointer to read the inner hop limit and DS field. That can\nread from a freed skb head after the old head's remaining clone is\nreleased.\n\nReload iph6 after the offload helper succeeds and before subsequent\nreads from the inner IPv6 header. Keep the existing reload after\nskb_realloc_headroom(), since that branch can also replace the skb.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-06-25T08:39:27.893+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T19:57:30.192+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
