Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: use skb_header_pointer() for TCPv4 GSO frag_off check
Syzbot reported a KMSAN uninit-value warning in gso_features_check()
called from netif_skb_features() [1].
gso_features_check() reads iph->frag_off to decide whether to clear
mangleid_features. Accessing the IPv4 header via ip_hdr()/inner_ip_hdr()
can rely on skb header offsets that are not always safe for direct
dereference on packets injected from PF_PACKET paths.
Use skb_header_pointer() for the TCPv4 frag_off check so the header read
is robust whether data is already linear or needs copying.
