Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
veth: Ensure eth header is in skb&#39;s linear part<br />
<br />
After feeding a decapsulated packet to a veth device with act_mirred,<br />
skb_headlen() may be 0. But veth_xmit() calls __dev_forward_skb(),<br />
which expects at least ETH_HLEN byte of linear data (as<br />
__dev_forward_skb2() calls eth_type_trans(), which pulls ETH_HLEN bytes<br />
unconditionally).<br />
<br />
Use pskb_may_pull() to ensure veth_xmit() respects this constraint.<br />
<br />
