  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ieee802154: 6lowpan: only accept IPv6 packets in lowpan_xmit()  The aoe driver (or similar) generates a non-IPv6 packet (e.g., ETH_P_AOE) and queues it for transmission via dev_queue_xmit() on a 6LoWPAN interface (configured by the user or test case).  Since the packet is not IPv6, the 6LoWPAN header_ops-\u003ecreate function (lowpan_header_create or header_create) returns early without initializing the lowpan_addr_info structure in the skb headroom.  In the transmit function (lowpan_xmit), the driver calls lowpan_header (or setup_header) which unconditionally copies and uses the lowpan_addr_info from the headroom, which contains uninitialized data.  Fix this by dropping non IPv6 packets.  A similar fix is needed in net/bluetooth/6lowpan.c bt_xmit().",
