Threats tagged 'ghsa-5r7j-r8w6-f8xc'

A high severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth 6lowpan implementation was resolved. The issue involved missing resetting of the link-local header on the IPv6 receive path, which could cause kernel crashes when processing certain raw socket packets. The fix added the missing skb_reset_mac_header() call for uncompressed IPv6 packets to prevent crashes. This vulnerability affects the kernel's network packet handling in Bluetooth 6lowpan and could lead to denial of service due to kernel bugs.
