CVE-2024-47685: netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nfrejectipv6: fix nfrejectip6tcphdrput()
syzbot reported that nfrejectip6tcphdrput() was possibly sending garbage on the four reserved tcp bits (th->res1)
Use skbputzero() to clear the whole TCP header, as done in nfrejectiptcphdrput()
