The kernel is vulnerable to use-after-free. Due to a flaw found in the tcp_rcv_state_process() function in the Linux kernel TCP/IP protocol suite implementation, if a system using IPv6 had the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO option set on a listening socket, a remote attacker could send an IPv6 packet to that system, causing a kernel panic.
