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

ipvlan: Dont Use skb->sk in ipvlan_process_v{4,6}_outbound

Raw packet from PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed ipvlan device will hit WARN_ON_ONCE() in sk_mc_loop() through sch_direct_xmit() path.

Call ip{6}_local_out() with NULL sk in ipvlan as other tunnels to fix this.
