Subject: [PATCH] bridge: fix a possible use after free
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 07:57:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1314165425.4478.19.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)

br_multicast_ipv6_rcv() can call pskb_trim_rcsum() and therefore skb
head can be reallocated.

Cache icmp6_type field instead of dereferencing twice the struct
icmp6hdr pointer.
