5.5 - CVE-2025-21891

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipvlan: ensure network headers are in skb linear part

syzbot found that ipvlan_process_v6_outbound() was assuming the IPv6 network header isis present in skb->head [1]

Add the needed pskb_network_may_pull() calls for both IPv4 and IPv6 handlers.
