# Explanation
The following snippet is taken from in6_pcbdetach:
```
void
in6_pcbdetach(struct inpcb *inp)
{
    // ...
	if (!(so->so_flags & SOF_PCBCLEARING)) {
		struct ip_moptions *imo;
		struct ip6_moptions *im6o;

		inp->inp_vflag = 0;
		if (inp->in6p_options != NULL) {
			m_freem(inp->in6p_options);
			inp->in6p_options = NULL; // <- good
		}
		ip6_freepcbopts(inp->in6p_outputopts); // <- bad
		ROUTE_RELEASE(&inp->in6p_route);
		// free IPv4 related resources in case of mapped addr
		if (inp->inp_options != NULL) {
			(void) m_free(inp->inp_options); // <- good
			inp->inp_options = NULL;
		}
```

Notice that freed options must also be cleared so they are not accidentally reused.
This can happen when a socket is disconnected and reconnected without being destroyed.
In the inp->in6p_outputopts case, the options are freed but not cleared, so they can be
used after they are freed.

This specific PoC requires root because I use raw sockets, but it's possible other socket
types suffer from this same vulnerability.

It seems that this TCP testcase I've posted works nicely for UaF reads, but getting a write isn't straightforward because calling disconnectx explicitly makes subsequent setsockopt and connect/bind/accept/etc. calls fail because the socket is marked as disconnected.

But there is still hope. PR_CONNREQUIRED is marked for TCP6, which means we may be able to connect twice (forcing a disconnect during the second connection) using the same TCP6 socket and have a similar situation to the original crash.
