Packets with extension\nheaders must fall back onto software checksumming. Since TSO\ndepends on checksum offload, those must revert to GSO.\n\nThe below commit introduces that fallback. It always checks\nnetwork header length. For tunneled packets, the inner header length\nmust be checked instead. Extend the check accordingly.\n\nA special case is tunneled packets without inner IP protocol. Such as\nRFC 6951 SCTP in UDP. Those are not standard IPv6 followed by\ntransport header either, so also must revert to the software GSO path.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2094a7cf91b71367b649f991aacc7b579f793d0b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/33670f780e0120c3dacda188c512bbffe0b6044c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/732fdeb2987c94b439d51f5cb9addddc2fc48c42","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a98b78116a27e2a57b696b569b2cb431c95cf9b6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c4336a07eb6b2526dc2b62928b5104b41a7f81f5"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:09.003606135+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-43057","score":0.00437,"percentile":0.37735,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
