Maybe also check the special case IPPROTO_NONE?
IPPROTO_NONE defines the same with NEXTHDR_NONE. So ipv6_skip_exthdr() will
return -1, and we will goto fail_hdr and send ICMP parameter error message.

The question is if it's OK to reply a ICMP error for fragment + IPPROTO_NONE
packet? For pure IPPROTO_NONE message, we should drop silently, but what about
fragment message?
According to RFC8200 section 4.7: "If the Payload Length field of the IPv6

header indicates the presence of octets past the end of a header whose

Next Header field contains 59, those octets must be ignored and passed

on unchanged if the packet is forwarded." I have not found any RFC

describing different behaviour for fragmented packets.

Are you planning to also add this fix for the fragmentation handling in the netfilter?
I have no plan to fix this on netfilter as netfilter is a module.
It may have different behavior during defragment.

Thanks
Hangbin
I might have a look at the netfilter myself then.


Thanks
