Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipvlan: ensure network headers are in skb linear part syzbot found that ipvlan_process_v6_outbound() was assuming the IPv6 network header isis present in skb->head [1] Add the needed pskb_network_may_pull() calls for both IPv4 and IPv6 handlers.
