CVE-2024-56648 - Vulnerability Details

- net: hsr: avoid potential out-of-bound access in fill_frame_info()

Description

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

net: hsr: avoid potential out-of-bound access in fill_frame_info()

syzbot is able to feed a packet with 14 bytes, pretending
it is a vlan one.

Since fill_frame_info() is relying on skb->mac_len already,
extend the check to cover this case.
