ID: CVE-2024-38538
Published: 2024-06-19T14:15Z
Description: description_data: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: bridge: xmit: make sure we have at least eth header len bytes

syzbot triggered an uninit value[1] error in bridge device's xmit path
by sending a short (less than ETH_HLEN bytes) skb. To fix it check if
we can actually pull that amount instead of assuming.

Tested with dropwatch:
 drop at: br_dev_xmit+0xb93/0x12d0 [bridge] (0xffffffffc06739b3)
 origin: software
 timestamp: Mon May 13 11:31:53 2024 778214037 nsec
 protocol: 0x88a8
 length: 2
 original length: 2
 drop reason: PKT_TOO_SMALL
