In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: do not allow gso_size to be set to GSO_BY_FRAGS One missing check in virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() allowed syzbot to crash kernels again [1] Do not allow gso_size to be set to GSO_BY_FRAGS (0xffff), because this magic value is used by the kernel. [1] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc000000000e: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000070-0x0000000000000077] CPU: 0 PID: 5039 Comm: syz-executor401 Not tainted 6.5.0-rc5-next-20230809-syzkaller #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 07/26/2023 RIP: 0010:skb_segment+0x1a52/0x3ef0 net/core/skbuff.c:4500 Code: 00 00 00 e9 ab eb ff ff e8 6b 96 5d f9 48 8b 84 24 00 0
