Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-05-01 15:03:17 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: tun: call napi_schedule_prep() to ensure we own a napi

A recent patch exposed another issue in napi_get_frags()
caught by syzbot [1]

Before feeding packets to GRO, and calling napi_complete()
we must first grab NAPI_STATE_SCHED.
