Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: fix possible stale skb pointers In the bridge driver we have a couple of places which call pskb_may_pull but we've cached skb pointers before that and use them after which can lead to out-of-bounds/stale pointer use. I've had these in my "to fix" list for some time and now we got a report (patch 01) so here they are. Patches 02-04 are fixes based on code inspection. Also patch 01 was tested by Martin Weinelt, Martin if you don't mind please add your tested-by tag to it by replying with Tested-by: name <email>. I've also briefly tested the set by trying to exercise those code paths. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
