Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put()

syzbot reported that nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put() was possibly sending
garbage on the four reserved tcp bits (th->res1)

Use skb_put_zero() to clear the whole TCP header,
as done in nf_reject_ip_tcphdr_put()

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
