Linux kernel IPv6 tunnel may read invalid memory

published 4 months ago
Summary

A bug in the Linux kernel's IPv6 tunneling code could cause the system to read data from a memory area that has been released, potentially leading to crashes or other unpredictable behavior. The issue occurs when certain large data packets are processed and the code fails to update a pointer after the packet buffer is altered. Updating the kernel to the latest version fixes the problem.
