Descriptions

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

net: bridge: xmit: make sure we have at least eth header len bytes

syzbot triggered an uninit value[1] error in bridge device's xmit path
by sending a short (less than ETH_HLEN bytes) skb. To fix it check if
we can actually pull that amount instead of assuming.

Tested with dropwatch:
drop at: br_dev_xmit+0xb93/0x12d0 [bridge] (0xffffffffc06739b3)
origin: software
timestamp: Mon May 13 11:31:53 2024 778214037 nsec
protocol: 0x88a8
length: 2
original length: 2
drop reason: PKT_TOO_SMALL

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: bridge: xmit: asegúrese de tener al menos el encabezado eth len bytes syzbot desencadenó un error de valor uninit[1] en la ruta xmit del dispositivo puente al enviar un mensaje corto (menos de ETH_HLEN bytes) skb. Para solucionarlo, compruebe si realmente podemos retirar esa cantidad en lugar de suponerla.
