Linux kernel is vulnerable to out-of-bounds reads. This is because the IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux kernel does not consider that the nexthdr field may be associated with an invalid option. Local users could cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted socket and send system calls.
