CVE-2026-31685CVE-2026-31685
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ip6t_eui64: reject invalid MAC header for all packets
`eui64_mt6()` derives a modified EUI-64 from the Ethernet source address
and compares it with the low 64 bits of the IPv6 source address.
The existing guard only rejects an invalid MAC header when
`par->fragoff != 0`. For packets with `par->fragoff == 0`, `eui64_mt6()`
can still reach `eth_hdr(skb)` even when the MAC header is not valid.
Fix this by removing the `par->fragoff != 0` condition so that packets
with an invalid MAC header are rejected before accessing `eth_hdr(skb)`.
