#12524 is already ACK'd and just waiting for Murdock. So I wait for that to be merged before I rebase. |

OK, thanks for that comment. I'll review the commit, but wait for the rebase. |
When writing to the IPv6 header the implementation currently doesn't take the packet with the (potentially) duplicated header, but the packet with the original one, which leads to the packet sent and then released in `gnrc_netif_ethernet.c` first and then accessed again in further iterations of the "writing to the IPv6 header" loop, which causes access to an invalid pointer, causing a crash. Fixes RIOT-OS#11980 (cherry picked from commit ce14ee1)

Contribution description
When writing to the IPv6 header the implementation currently doesn't take the packet with the (potentially) duplicated header, but the packet with the original one, which leads to the packet sent and then released in
gnrc_netif_ethernet.cfirst and then accessed again in further iterations of the "writing to the IPv6 header" loop, which causes access to an invalid pointer, causing a crash.Testing procedure
When repeating the "Steps to reproduce" in #11980, the node should not crash and you get a lot of (duplicate) replies. When using two interfaces with one being a 6LoWPAN interface, the node should not crash, pinging might however not work due to the bug fixed in #10499.
