The offset value is used in pointer math on skb->data. Since ipv6_skip_exthdr may return -1 the pointer to uh and th may not point to the actual udp and tcp headers and potentially overwrite other stuff. This is why I think this should be checked.

Ew. Yeah, it seems like ipv6_skip_exthdr() needs to be checked in a lot of places. If this is part of protocol decoding, I'm surprised fuzzers haven't found this? Is this state reachable? I assume so, as there have been similar fixes in the past: https://git.kernel.org/linus/92c6058024e87087cf1b99b0389d67c0a886360e
uh = (void *)(skb->data + offset); th = (void *)(skb->data + offset); hdr_len += offset; -- 2.27.0
