Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-02-04 17:05:05 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fou: Don't allow 0 for FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO.

fou_udp_recv() has the same problem mentioned in the previous
patch.

If FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO is set to 0, skb is not freed by
fou_udp_recv() nor "resubmit"-ted in ip_protocol_deliver_rcu().

Let's forbid 0 for FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO.
