Description Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-23 07:15:01 UTC 
[IPV6]: ipv6_fl_socklist is inadvertently shared.
 
 The ipv6_fl_socklist from listening socket is inadvertently shared
 with new socket created for connection.  This leads to a variety of
 interesting, but fatal, bugs. For example, removing one of the
 sockets may lead to the other socket's encountering a page fault
 when the now freed list is referenced.
 
 The fix is to not share the flow label list with the new socket.
