Ew. Yeah, it seems like ipv6_skip_exthdr() needs to be checked in a lot of places. If this is part of protocol decoding, I'm surprised fuzzers haven't found this? Is this state reachable?
I assume so, as there have been similar fixes in the past: https://git.kernel.org/linus/92c6058024e87087cf1b99b0389d67c0a886360e
