Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (main)
by Jakub Kicinski [off-list ref]:

The second memcpy in lowpan_iphc_mcast_ctx_addr_compress() uses
&data[1] as destination and &ipaddr->s6_addr[11] as source, but
both should be offset by one: &data[2] and &ipaddr->s6_addr[12]
respectively.

This off-by-one has two consequences:
1. data[1] is overwritten with s6_addr[11], corrupting the RIID
   field in the compressed multicast address
2. data[5] is never written, so uninitialized kernel stack memory
   is transmitted over the network via lowpan_push_hc_data(),
   leaking kernel stack contents

[...]
