It is later dereferenced in ip6_frag_next(), causing a\nuse-after-free write.\n\nSave prevhdr's offset before skb_checksum_help() and recompute it after,\nlike commit ef0efcd3bd3f (\"ipv6: Fix dangling pointer when ipv6\nfragment\").\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ip6_frag_next (net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:857)\n  Write of size 1 at addr ffff888013ff5016 by task exploit/141\n  Call Trace:\n   ...\n   kasan_report (mm/kasan/report.c:595)\n   ip6_frag_next (net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:857)\n   br_ip6_fragment (net/ipv6/netfilter.c:212)\n   nf_ct_bridge_post (net/bridge/netfilter/nf_conntrack_bridge.c:407)\n   nf_hook_slow (net/netfilter/core.c:619)\n   br_forward_finish (net/bridge/br_forward.c:66)\n   __br_forward (net/bridge/br_forward.c:115)\n   maybe_deliver (net/bridge/br_forward.c:191)\n   br_flood (net/bridge/br_forward.c:245)\n   br_handle_frame_finish (net/bridge/br_input.c:229)\n   br_handle_frame (net/bridge/br_input.c:442)\n   ...\n   packet_sendmsg (net/packet/af_packet.c:3114)\n   ...\n   do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94)\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121)\n  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/00c06ef8c018493943891a7d0ca82b71b24f3180","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1c4f67c89fd27c4df4c70b135c2c59627698b3c0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2731efa6364e47934c96eb69e01ea131e8af8030","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4ac981a8b7ce7aec99a52d08f8a8953e8e120067","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/86f3ce81dd2b4b0aa2c3016c989a943e4b1b643d"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64554","score":0.00256,"percentile":0.17048,"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).
