Original description The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix potential crash in nf_send_reset6()
I got a syzbot report without a repro [1] crashing in nf_send_reset6()
I think the issue is that dev->hard_header_len is zero, and we attempt
later to push an Ethernet header.
Use LL_MAX_HEADER, as other functions in net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv6.c.
