CVE-2026-63922

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv6 extension header processing. When processing the Home Address Option (HAO), the cached network header pointer may become invalid if the packet's memory is reallocated. This can lead to incorrect parsing of subsequent IPv6 Type-Length-Value (TLV) options, potentially causing unexpected network behavior or a denial of service.
