In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: Add lwtunnel encap size of all siblings in nexthop calculation In function rt6_nlmsg_size(), the length of nexthop is calculated by multipling the nexthop length of fib6_info and the number of siblings. However if the fib6_info has no lwtunnel but the siblings have lwtunnels, the nexthop length is less than it should be, and it will trigger a warning in inet6_rt_notify() as follows: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6082 at net/ipv6/route.c:6180 inet6_rt_notify+0x120/0x130 ......
