The fragmentation code tries to parse the header options in order
to figure out where to insert the fragment option.  Since nexthdr points
to an invalid option, the calculation of the size of the network header
can made to be much larger than the linear section of the skb and data
is read outside of it.

This vulnerability is similar to CVE-2017-9074.

Ok, but have you checked that callers have been fixed ?
I've checked the callers. There are two callers:
xfrm6_transport_output() and xfrm6_ro_output(). There are checks in
both function.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        hdr_len = x->type->hdr_offset(x, skb, &prevhdr);
        if (hdr_len < 0)
                return hdr_len;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

xfrm6_transport_output() seems buggy as well,
unless the skbs are linearized before entering these functions ?
I can not understand what you mean about this comment.
Could you explain it in more detail.

If we had a problem, then the memmove(ipv6_hdr(skb), iph, hdr_len);
 in xfrm6_transport_output() would be buggy, since iph could also point to freed memory.
