Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: hsr: avoid possible NULL deref in skb_clone()<br />
<br />
syzbot got a crash [1] in skb_clone(), caused by a bug<br />
in hsr_get_untagged_frame().<br />
<br />
When/if create_stripped_skb_hsr() returns NULL, we must<br />
not attempt to call skb_clone().<br />
<br />
While we are at it, replace a WARN_ONCE() by netdev_warn_once().<br />
<br />
