Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: linearize cloned gso packets in sctp_rcv
A cloned head skb still shares these frag skbs in fraglist with the
original head skb. It's not safe to access these frag skbs.
syzbot reported two use-of-uninitialized-memory bugs caused by this:
