In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: validate lwtstate->data before returning from skb_tunnel_info()
skb_tunnel_info() returns pointer of lwtstate->data as ip_tunnel_info
type without validation. lwtstate->data can have various types such as
mpls_iptunnel_encap, etc and these are not compatible.
So skb_tunnel_info() should validate before returning that pointer.
Splat looks like:
