Using pskb_may_pull(skb, 20)\nonly checks 20 bytes from skb->data (which is 14 bytes MAC header + 6 bytes of\nIP header), leaving the rest of the IP header potentially un-pulled in non-linear\nfrags. Subsequent dereferences of ip_hdr(skb)->daddr can read beyond the pulled\nlinear buffer length.\n\nFix this by using pskb_network_may_pull(), which adds skb_network_offset(skb) to\nthe length check to ensure the full network header is present in the linear buffer.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-15T12:27:09.382+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-16T19:05:47.966+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
