Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
phonet: pep: fix use-after-free in pep_get_sb()<br />
<br />
pep_get_sb() doesn&#39;t consider that pskb_may_pull() might have relocated<br />
the skb data, and continue to access the older pointer, causing UAF.<br />
<br />
Reproduced under KASAN:<br />
<br />
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in pep_get_sb+0x234/0x3b0<br />
Read of size 1 at addr ff11000105510f50 by task repro/157<br />

__netif_receive_skb+0xcc/0x1d0<br />
<br />
Refetch the header with skb_header_pointer() after pskb_may_pull(), so<br />
the possibly stale pointer is no longer dereferenced. There are better<br />
ways to solve this, but, this is the less instrusive one.
