> How can a corrupted frame pass the TCP checksum check?
The TCP/IP checksums are extremely weak. If the corruption is due to
defective SRAM or something like that, it's likely that it causes an
error pattern which is 16-bit-aligned. And an even number of
16-bit-aligned bit flips is not detected by the TCP checksum. 8-(
Actually, nobody should use TCP without application-level checksums
for that reason. But of course, there is HTTP.
