CVE-2026-74473NVD

Vulnerability Summary

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

vxlan: use pskb_network_may_pull() in route_shortcircuit()

route_shortcircuit() currently calls pskb_may_pull(skb, sizeof(struct iphdr))
(or ipv6hdr), which checks if bytes are available starting from skb->data.

However, in vxlan_xmit(), skb->data points to the MAC header, so
skb_network_offset(skb) is ETH_HLEN (14 bytes). Using pskb_may_pull(skb, 20)
only checks 20 bytes from skb->data (which is 14 bytes MAC header + 6 bytes of
IP header), leaving the rest of the IP header potentially un-pulled in non-linear
frags. Subsequent dereferences of ip_hdr(skb)->daddr can read beyond the pulled
linear buffer length.

Fix this by using pskb_network_may_pull(), which adds skb_network_offset(skb) to
the length check to ensure the full network header is present in the linear buffer.
