Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
idpf: fix kernel panic on unknown packet types<br />
<br />
In the very rare case where a packet type is unknown to the driver,<br />
idpf_rx_process_skb_fields would return early without calling<br />
eth_type_trans to set the skb protocol / the network layer handler.<br />
This is especially problematic if tcpdump is running when such a<br />
packet is received, i.e. it would cause a kernel panic.<br />
<br />
Instead, call eth_type_trans for every single packet, even when<br />
the packet type is unknown.
