CVE-2022-49066 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

veth: Ensure eth header is in skb’s linear part

After feeding a decapsulated packet to a veth device with act_mirred skb_headlen() may be 0. But veth_xmit() calls __dev_forward_skb() which expects at least ETH_HLEN byte of linear data (as __dev_forward_skb2() calls eth_type_trans() which pulls ETH_HLEN bytes unconditionally).

Use pskb_may_pull() to ensure veth_xmit() respects this constraint.
