fixed, I think the patch is in -rc4 already (it is listed in the "Merge /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6" on Jan. 4th in the git browser)

no patch available yet, remote DoS attack for 2.6.20-rc3, not excluded this has been the case since nf_conntrack_ipv6 was available (2.6.16 or so), UDPv6 fragments are rare in the wild and a large number of users could not use nf_conntrack_ipv6 up to now due to incompatibility with IPv4 NAT code.
