Linux Kernel CVE-2023-53601

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

bonding: do not assume skb mac_header is set

Drivers must not assume in their ndo_start_xmit() that skbs have their mac_header set. skb->data is all what is needed.

bonding seems to be one of the last offender as caught by syzbot:
