Exploitability: 1.8 / Impact: 3.6
Source: NVD
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
llc: do not use skb_get() before dev_queue_xmit()
syzbot is able to crash hosts [1], using llc and devices
not supporting IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING.
In this case, e1000 driver calls eth_skb_pad(), while
the skb is shared.
Simply replace skb_get() by skb_clone() in net/llc/llc_s_ac.c
Note that e1000 driver might have an issue with pktgen,
because it does not clear IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING, this is an
orthogonal change.
We need to audit other skb_get() uses in net/llc.
