Detail

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

net: ppp: Add bound checking for skb data on ppp_sync_txmung

Ensure we have enough data in linear buffer from skb before accessing initial bytes. This prevents potential out-of-bounds accesses when processing short packets.

When ppp_sync_txmung receives an incoming package with an empty payload: (remote) gef? p *(struct pppoe_hdr *) (skb->head + skb->network_header) $18 = {
type = 0x1,
ver = 0x1,
code = 0x0,
sid = 0x2,
length = 0x0,
tag = 0xffff8880371cdb96 }

from the skb struct (trimmed)
tail = 0x16,
end = 0x140,
head = 0xffff88803346f400 "4",
data = 0xffff88803346f416 ":\377",
truesize = 0x380,
len = 0x0,
data_len = 0x0,
mac_len = 0xe,
hdr_len = 0x0,

it is not safe to access data[2].
