LIN1025-16952 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-63922

Created: Aug 1, 2026    Updated: Aug 11, 2026
Found In Version: 10.25.33.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 25
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ipv6: exthdrs: refresh nh after handling HAO option  ip6_parse_tlv() caches skb_network_header(skb) in nh while walking IPv6 TLVs.  ipv6_dest_hao() may call pskb_expand_head() for a cloned skb, which can move the skb head and invalidate the cached network header pointer. Refresh nh after ipv6_dest_hao() returns so any trailing padding or TLVs are parsed from the current skb head.  This matches the existing pattern used in ip6_parse_tlv() after helpers that can modify skb header storage.
