You are correct in the assumption that this bug is not fixed in a
kernel jumbo patch. It is fixed in the /kernel/drv/tcp patch.

The revision it's corrected in is 105529-07. The current version
is 105529-08, which fixes some additional problems with a panic
due to a null pointer dereference under certain circumstances.

For 5.6 x86, this patch is available as 105530-08.
