CVE-2026-31685 is an input-validation vulnerability in the Linux kernel netfilter ip6t_eui64 component. The eui64_mt6() function derives a modified EUI-64 from the Ethernet source address and compares it with the low 64 bits of the IPv6 source address. Its MAC-header validation guard rejects invalid headers only when par->fragoff is nonzero. Packets with par->fragoff == 0 can therefore reach eth_hdr(skb) with an invalid MAC header, causing unsafe Ethernet-header access. Specially crafted IPv6 packets can potentially trigger a system crash and denial of service. The flaw was introduced in Linux kernel 2.6.12.
