CVE-2023-53109CVE-2023-53109
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tunnels: annotate lockless accesses to dev->needed_headroom
IP tunnels can apparently update dev->needed_headroom
in their xmit path.
This patch takes care of three tunnels xmit, and also the
core LL_RESERVED_SPACE() and LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EXTRA()
helpers.
More changes might be needed for completeness.
