      I accidentally found a bug causing pfsense to crash and reboot. I have not test if it is only a bug in ipv6 gif tunnel since i don't have native ipv6 to test it (and i don't have lab). here's the details:

      software: pfsense plus 23.01
      IPv4 WAN interface over VLAN
      GIF tunnel (HE tunnel /64 prefix, fixed MTU 1480)

      Reproduce:

      1. Firewall ipv6 rule allow any any on GIF tunnel interface (edit: traffic logging is enabled)
      2. Ping from any remote machine (i am using linux), with command "ping [PFSENSE_IPV6] -s 65500"
        Then pfsense console will start to spamming, before reboot it shows somethings like "cpu_reset"?

      No error report shown in the pfsense dashboard just like nothing happened.

        It should be making a crash dump file and offering to let you download it, unless this system doesn't have a swap partition.

        What hardware is this on?

              I was able to reproduce it here and it did create a textdump for me. We're looking into it now.
