CVE-2024-56659 - Vulnerability Details

- net: lapb: increase LAPB_HEADER_LEN

Description

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

net: lapb: increase LAPB_HEADER_LEN

It is unclear if net/lapb code is supposed to be ready for 8021q.

We can at least avoid crashes like the following :
