The selinux_parse_skb_ipv6 function in security/selinux/hooks.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.12-rc4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via vectors associated with an incorrect call to the ipv6_skip_exthdr function.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
