For the ipv6 forwarding case, we have done the check in ip6_forward().

 493                 int addrtype = ipv6_addr_type(&hdr->saddr);
 494 
 495                 /* This check is security critical. */
 496                 if (addrtype == IPV6_ADDR_ANY ||
 497                     addrtype & (IPV6_ADDR_MULTICAST | IPV6_ADDR_LOOPBACK))
 498                         goto error;
