The IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 does not consider that the nexthdr field may be associated with an invalid option, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted socket and send system calls.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

0.42% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 36% of all scored CVEs.
