Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-49066
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved. The issue occurs when a decapsulated packet is fed to a veth device with act mirred, and `skb headlen()` may be 0. However, `veth xmit()` calls ` dev forward skb()`, which expects at least `ETH HLEN` byte of linear data. To fix this, `pskb may pull()` is used to ensure `veth xmit()` respects this constraint. The vulnerability can cause a kernel bug, leading to a crash.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
