Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-36 Severity: serious Tags: security patch
VM guests using the virtio_net driver may take advantage of UFO (UDP fragmentation offload) which results in the VM host performing fragmentation. As discussed in <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1196272>, the new IPv6 fragment ID generator will crash in this case because the expected routing context is missing. No fix is yet available, so we should revert the original fix and sort this out properly later.
