Answers are not entirely correct. The packets are not malformed - they have a valid header and valid data (8-octet long). The problem would be reassembly at the target machine - which has a vulnerability in the protocol/system/etc., but the packets themselves, despite being fragmented, are entirely valid.
These fragments are typically broken into 8-octet (8-byte) segments — because IP fragmentation offsets are measured in 8-byte units And malformed packets are used on these attacks.
The typical fragmentation size related to this attack is around 8 octets.
