Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
netfilter: require Ethernet MAC header before using eth_hdr()<br />
<br />
`ip6t_eui64`, `xt_mac`, the `bitmap:ip,mac`, `hash:ip,mac`, and<br />
`hash:mac` ipset types, and `nf_log_syslog` access `eth_hdr(skb)`<br />
after either assuming that the skb is associated with an Ethernet<br />
device or checking only that the `ETH_HLEN` bytes at<br />
`skb_mac_header(skb)` lie between `skb->head` and `skb->data`.<br />
<br />
Make these paths first verify that the skb is associated with an<br />
Ethernet device, that the MAC header was set, and that it spans at<br />
least a full Ethernet header before accessing `eth_hdr(skb)`.
