Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: 6lowpan: reset link-local header on ipv6 recv path
Bluetooth 6lowpan.c netdev has header_ops, so it must set link-local header for RX skb, otherwise things crash, eg. with AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW
Add missing skb_reset_mac_header() for uncompressed ipv6 RX path.
For the compressed one, it is done in lowpan_header_decompress().
Log: (BlueZ 6lowpan-tester Client Recv Raw - Success)
