Hi, The linux kernel contains a bug where a fragmented IPv6 packet causes a panic after a timeout (seems to be roughly 60 seconds). This can be triggered remotely via the internet and results in a DoS (kernel panic). Details: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189851 This is fixed by commit 79dc7e3f1cd323be4c81aa1a94faa1b3ed987fb2 Author: David Ahern <dsa () cumulusnetworks com> Date: Sun Nov 27 18:52:53 2016 -0800 net: handle no dst on skb in icmp6_send Reference: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=79dc7e3f1cd323be4c81aa1a94faa1b3ed987fb2 Can a CVE be assigned to this issue?
