CPU: 0 PID: 5037 Comm: syz-executor166 Not tainted 6.7.0-rc7-syzkaller-00003-gfbafc3e621c3 #0<br />

=====================================================<br />
<br />
This issue occurs because the skb buffer is too small, and it&#39;s actual<br />
allocation is aligned. This hides an actual issue, which is that nr_route_frame<br />
does not validate the buffer size before using it.<br />
<br />
Fix this issue by checking skb->len before accessing any fields in skb->data.<br />
<br />
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
