It seems some non-standard(or corrupted) packets are passing, because 
even on ~1G server it might cause corruption once per several days, 
KASAN seems need less time to trigger.

I am not aware how things working, but:
[25181.875696] Memory state around the buggy address:

Why all data here is zero? I guess it should be some packet data?
