Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: fbnic: don't cache shinfo across skb realloc
fbnic_tx_lso() calls skb_cow_head() which may reallocate the skb
including the shared info. We can't use the pointer calculated
before the call.
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in fbnic_tx_lso.isra.0+0x668/0x8e0
