From 5a421058a07477e23f6ca23bb510894419224080 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ghanan Gowripalan Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2019 16:05:31 -0700 Subject: Validate the checksum for incoming ICMPv6 packets This change validates the ICMPv6 checksum field before further processing an ICMPv6 packet. Tests: Unittests to make sure that only ICMPv6 packets with a valid checksum are accepted/processed. Existing tests using checker.ICMPv6 now also check the ICMPv6 checksum field.
