Linux Kernel IPv6 Hop-By-Hop Header Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to adequately validate specially crafted IPv6 'Hop-By-Hop' headers.

Attackers can exploit this issue to cause a kernel panic, denying service to legitimate users.
