Subject: CVE Request: Linux kernel: panic while pushing pending data out of
 an IPv6 socket with UDP_CORK enabled.

   Hi,

Linux kernel built with IPv6 networking is vulnerable to a crash while sending 
data as a single datagram over IPv6 socket when UDP_CORK option set. UDP_CORK 
enables accumulating data and sending it as a single datagram.

Upstream fix:
-------------
