Hi Willem,

https://data.zx2c4.com/icmp_send-crash-e03b4a42-706a-43bf-bc40-1f15966b3216.tar.xz
has .debs with vmlinuz in there, which you can extract to vmlinux, as
well as my own vmlinux elf construction with the symbols added back in
by extracting them from kallsyms. That's the best I've been able to
do, as all of this is coming from somebody random emailing me.

The wg calls to icmp_ndo_send are gated by checking skb->protocol:

        if (skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IP))
               icmp_ndo_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_HOST_UNREACH, 0);
       else if (skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6))
               icmpv6_ndo_send(skb, ICMPV6_DEST_UNREACH,
ICMPV6_ADDR_UNREACH, 0);

On the other hand, that code is hit on an error path when
wg_check_packet_protocol returns false:

static inline bool wg_check_packet_protocol(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
       __be16 real_protocol = ip_tunnel_parse_protocol(skb);
       return real_protocol && skb->protocol == real_protocol;
}

So that means, at least in theory, icmp_ndo_send could be called with
skb->protocol != ip_tunnel_parse_protocol(skb). I guess I can address
that. But... is it actually a problem?
