CVE-2026-64554

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: bridge: fix stale prevhdr pointer in br_ip6_fragment() br_ip6_fragment() gets prevhdr, a pointer into the skb head, from ip6_find_1stfragopt(), then calls skb_checksum_help(). For a cloned skb skb_checksum_help() reallocates the head via pskb_expand_head(), leaving prevhdr dangling. It is later dereferenced in ip6_frag_next(), causing a use-after-free write. Save prevhdr's offset before skb_checksum_help() and recompute it after, like commit ef0efcd3bd3f ("ipv6: Fix dangling pointer when ipv6 fragment"). BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ip6_frag_next (net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:857) Write of size 1 at addr ffff888013ff5016 by task exploit/141 Call Trace: ... kasan_report (mm/kasan/report.c:595) ip6_frag_next (net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:857) br_ip6_fragment (net/ipv6/netfilter.c:212) nf_ct_bridge_post (net/bridge/netfilter/nf_conntrack_bridge.c:407) nf_hook_slow (net/netfilter/core.c:619) br_forward_finish (net/bridge/br_forward.c:66) __br_forward (net/bridge/br_forward.c:115) maybe_deliver (net/bridge/br_forward.c:191) br_flood (net/bridge/br_forward.c:245) br_handle_frame_finish (net/bridge/br_input.c:229) br_handle_frame (net/bridge/br_input.c:442) ... packet_sendmsg (net/packet/af_packet.c:3114) ... do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121) Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
