ipv6 ioam

About this tag
The tag ipv6 ioam covers Linux kernel vulnerabilities in the IPv6 In-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) implementation. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight two CVEs: CVE-2026-43083, an out-of-bounds transmit-queue access with a missing lock in shared queue-statistics handling, and CVE-2026-43101, a NULL dereference in the IOAM tracing path. While these are Linux kernel bugs, they are relevant to Windows teams because Linux runs inside WSL, containers, cloud images, and other infrastructure that Windows administrators manage. The tag content focuses on how these specific kernel defects impact security posture and triage priorities for organizations using mixed environments.
