Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-03-27 16:01:55 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipvlan: ensure network headers are in skb linear part

syzbot found that ipvlan_process_v6_outbound() was assuming
the IPv6 network header isis present in skb->head [1]

Add the needed pskb_network_may_pull() calls for both
IPv4 and IPv6 handlers.
