In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: test for not too small csumstart in virtionethdrto_skb()
syzbot was able to trigger this warning [1], after injecting a malicious packet through afpacket, setting skb->csumstart and thus the transport header to an incorrect value.
We can at least make sure the transport header is after the end of the network header (with a estimated minimal size).
