Well known and fixed a long time ago, see the patch below.

Please reproduce bugs against current upstream kernels before
reporting the problem here, if it only occurs in the vendor's
kernel then the appropriate thing to do is to report it to
the vendor.

    net: ip_expire() must revalidate route
    
    Commit 4a94445c9a5c (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path)
    added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, in case timeout is fired.
    
    When a frame is defragmented, we use last skb dst field when building
    final skb. Its dst is valid, since we are in rcu read section.
    
    But if a timeout occurs, we take first queued fragment to build one ICMP
    TIME EXCEEDED message. Problem is all queued skb have weak dst pointers,
    since we escaped RCU critical section after their queueing. icmp_send()
    might dereference a now freed (and possibly reused) part of memory.
    
    Calling skb_dst_drop() and ip_route_input_noref() to revalidate route is
    the only possible choice.

David,

Thanks for the pointer to the patch.

I will endeavor to obey the protocol in the future.
