Georg Kohmann 9d9e937b1c ipv6/netfilter: Discard first fragment not including all headers
Packets are processed even though the first fragment don't include all
headers through the upper layer header. This breaks TAHI IPv6 Core
Conformance Test v6LC.1.3.6.

Referring to RFC8200 SECTION 4.5: "If the first fragment does not include
all headers through an Upper-Layer header, then that fragment should be
discarded and an ICMP Parameter Problem, Code 3, message should be sent to
the source of the fragment, with the Pointer field set to zero."

The fragment needs to be validated the same way it is done in
commit 2efdaaaf88 ("IPv6: reply ICMP error if the first fragment don't
include all headers") for ipv6. Wrap the validation into a common function,
ipv6_frag_thdr_truncated() to check for truncation in the upper layer
header. This validation does not fullfill all aspects of RFC 8200,
section 4.5, but is at the moment sufficient to pass mentioned TAHI test.

In netfilter, utilize the fragment offset returned by find_prev_fhdr() to
let ipv6_frag_thdr_truncated() start it's traverse from the fragment
header.

Return 0 to drop the fragment in the netfilter. This is the same behaviour
as used on other protocol errors in this function, e.g. when
nf_ct_frag6_queue() returns -EPROTO. The Fragment will later be picked up
by ipv6_frag_rcv() in reassembly.c. ipv6_frag_rcv() will then send an
appropriate ICMP Parameter Problem message back to the source.

References commit 2efdaaaf88 ("IPv6: reply ICMP error if the first
fragment don't include all headers")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
