No local access is needed to drive the trigger.\nAC:L - The failure is fully deterministic — there is no race, timing window, or memory-layout dependency; `skb_csum_hwoffload_help()` unconditionally routes any GSO IPv6 skb with an extension header into `skb_checksum_help()`, which warns and drops on every single packet. The NIC feature set (`IPV6_CSUM` + `TSO6`, no `HW_CSUM`) is the common case across dozens of mainstream drivers.\nPR:N - The remote client needs no credentials — merely establishing a connection and pulling more than one MSS of data from a service behind an IPv6 tunnel is sufficient. Locally the bar is likewise nil: `ipv6_set_opt_hdr()` at `net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c:312` exempts `IPV6_RTHDR` from its `CAP_NET_RAW` check, so any unprivileged process can attach an SRH to a TCPv6 socket and hit the same path.\nUI:N - The attacker's own traffic drives the transmit path directly; no administrator or victim needs to open a file, mount anything, or take any action.\nS:U - The WARN, the packet drop, and any resulting panic all occur inside the kernel's own security authority on the same host, crossing no VM, IOMMU, container, or sandbox boundary.\nC:N - The skb is discarded via `kfree_skb()` with no out-of-bounds access and no kernel memory read primitive; the attacker learns nothing, as `skb_dump()` output goes only to the target's ring buffer, which they cannot read.\nI:N - No data is modified — the packet is rejected before reaching the device rather than being transmitted with a bad checksum, and there is no out-of-bounds or freed-memory write anywhere on the path.\nA:H - `skb_warn_bad_offload()` fires a `WARN(1)` that taints the kernel and becomes a full panic under `panic_on_warn`, and `validate_xmit_skb()` then destroys the skb, so every qualifying packet is silently discarded — a total collapse of throughput and loss of connectivity for the affected tunnel or interface, sustained for as long as the attacker keeps sending." } ] } ], "affected":
