In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: test run: Fix the null pointer dereference issue in bpf lwt xmit push encap
The bpf lwt xmit push encap helper needs to access skb dst(skb)->dev to calculate the needed headroom:
err = skb cow head(skb,
		  len + LL RESERVED SPACE(skb dst(skb)->dev));
But skb-> skb refdst may not be initialized when the skb is set up by bpf prog test run skb function. Executing bpf lwt push ip encap function in this scenario will trigger null pointer dereference, causing a kernel crash as Yinhao reported:
