ipv6: fix possible UAF in icmpv6_rcv()
Caching saddr and daddr before pskb_pull() is problematic since skb->head can change. Remove these temporary variables: - We only access &ipv6_hdr(skb)->saddr and &ipv6_hdr(skb)->daddr when net_dbg_ratelimited() is called in the slow path. - Avoid potential future misuse after pskb_pull() call. Fixes: 4b3418fba0fe ("ipv6: icmp: include addresses in debug messages") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Joe Damato <joe@dama.to> Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260416103505.2380753-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
