From: Jordy Zomer <jordy@pwning.systems> [ Upstream commit 5f9c55c8066bcd93ac25234a02585701fe2e31df ] 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.
