In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
skbuff: Account for tail adjustment during pull operations
Extending the tail can have some unexpected side effects if a program uses
a helper like BPF_FUNC_skb_pull_data to read partial content beyond the
head skb headlen when all the skbs in the gso frag_list are linear with no
head_frag -

Fix this by marking these skbs as GSO_DODGY so segmentation can handle
the tail updates accordingly.
