Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
veth: Fix use after free in XDP_REDIRECT
Commit 718a18a0c8a6 ("veth: Rework veth_xdp_rcv_skb in order
to accept non-linear skb") introduced a bug where it tried to
use pskb_expand_head() if the headroom was less than
XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM. This however uses kmalloc to expand the head,
which will later allow consume_skb() to free the skb while is it still
in use by AF_XDP.
Previously if the headroom was less than XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM we
continued on to allocate a new skb from pages so this restores that
behavior.
