1DescriptionCVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
geneve: make sure to pull inner header in geneve_rx()
syzbot triggered a bug in geneve_rx() [1]
Issue is similar to the one I fixed in commit 8d975c15c0cd ("ip6_tunnel: make sure to pull inner header in __ip6_tnl_rcv()")
We have to save skb->network_header in a temporary variable in order to be able to recompute the network_header pointer after a pskb_inet_may_pull() call.
pskb_inet_may_pull() makes sure the needed headers are in skb->head.

RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Initialize all variables, use compiler warnings for uninitialized access, use memory-safe languages.
