Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: skb_partial_csum_set() fix against transport header magic value
skb->transport_header uses the special 0xFFFF value to mark if the transport header was set or not.
We must prevent callers to accidentaly set skb->transport_header to 0xFFFF. Note that only fuzzers can possibly do this today.
