      "title": "net: gro: fix double aggregation of flush-marked skbs",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: gro: fix double aggregation of flush-marked skbs\n\nCommit 0ab03f353d36 (\"net-gro: Fix GRO flush when receiving a GSO\npacket.\") added a flush check to skb_gro_receive(), but\nskb_gro_receive_list() lacks the same validation.\n\nAs a result, packets marked with NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush may still be\nre-aggregated.\n\nThis allows already-GRO'd packets with existing frag_list to be\nre-aggregated into a new GRO session, corrupting the frag_list chain\nstructure. When skb_segment() attempts to unpack these malformed packets,\nit encounters invalid state and triggers a kernel panic.\n\nScenario (Tethering/Device forwarding):\n  1. Driver: Generated aggregated packet P1 via LRO with frag_list\n  2. Dev A: Receives aggregated fraglist packet and flush flag set\n  3. Dev A: Re-enters GRO, skb_gro_receive_list() is called\n  4. Missing flush check allows re-aggregation despite flush flag\n  5. Frag_list chain becomes corrupted (loops or dangling refs)\n  6. Dev B: TX path calls skb_segment(), crashes on corrupted frag_list\n\nRoot cause in skb_segment():\n  The check at line ~4891:\n    if (hsize <= 0 && i >= nfrags && skb_headlen(list_skb) &&\n        (skb_headlen(list_skb) == len || sg)) {\n\n  When frag_list is corrupted by double aggregation, when list_skb is\n  a NULL pointer from skb->next, skb_headlen(list_skb) dereference\n  NULL/corrupted pointers occurs.\n\nCall Trace:\n skb_headlen(NULL skb)\n skb_segment\n tcp_gso_segment\n tcp4_gso_segment\n inet_gso_segment\n skb_mac_gso_segment\n __skb_gso_segment\n skb_gso_segment\n validate_xmit_skb\n validate_xmit_skb_list\n sch_direct_xmit\n qdisc_restart\n __qdisc_run\n qdisc_run\n net_tx_action\n\nFix: Add NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush validation to the early-return check in\nskb_gro_receive_list(), matching the defensive programming pattern of\nskb_gro_receive().",
