>Release:        4.10 stable
>Organization:
ISC
>Environment:
FreeBSD bsdi.dv.isc.org 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #11: Fri Aug 13 15:27:12 EST 2004     marka@bsdi.dv.isc.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BSDI  i386

>Description:
icmp6_error() prepends a mbuf to send ICMP6_PACKET_TOO_BIG.  When
ipfilter is active there is a attempt to pullup the full packet
which fails because there is not a associated cluster.

ICMP6_TIME_EXCEEDED can also demonstate the problem if traceroute6
uses a size of 105 or greater.
>How-To-Repeat:
      have a inbound interface w/ a mtu of 1500 and a output interface
with a mtu of 1280 (e.g. gif).  Have ipf active.  Attempt to send
a packet > 1280 octets through the router.  The ICMP6_PACKET_TOO_BIG
packet is dropped before it is emitted.
