Use After Free Affecting kernel-bootwrapper package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-bootwrapper package and not the kernel-bootwrapper package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: avoid use-after-free in ip6_fragment()

Blamed commit claimed rcu_read_lock() was held by ip6_fragment() callers.

It seems to not be always true, at least for UDP stack.
