>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.
