Fernando Fernandez Mancera Oct. 2, 2026, 7:52 a.m. UTC 
When executing IPv6 address rewrite actions on IPv6 fragments,
set_ipv6_addr() calls update_ipv6_checksum(). If parse_ipv6hdr()
processes a non-first IPv6 fragment, it sets key->ip.proto to
NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT and returns early without calling
skb_set_transport_header().

update_ipv6_checksum() unconditionally evaluates skb_transport_offset()
on entry before checking l4_proto.  Because skb->transport_header is
uninitialized, this triggers a warning under CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=y although
it is completely harmless.

Fix this by returning early in update_ipv6_checksum() if l4_proto is
NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT. This avoids reading the uninitialized transport offset
for fragments while preserving the debug warning for any other protocol
where the transport header is unexpectedly missing.

See the syzbot trace:
