"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: remove CAP_SYS_RAWIO zero-padding in dev_validate_header\n\ndev_validate_header() reads dev->hard_header_len directly when\nzero-padding short link layer headers for CAP_SYS_RAWIO holders:\n\n if (capable(CAP_SYS_RAWIO)) {\n memset(ll_header + len, 0, dev->hard_header_len - len);\n return true;\n }\n\nPacket send paths call dev_validate_header() on skbs whose headroom was\nallocated from an earlier hard_header_len read. If the device is\nreconfigured so that dev->hard_header_len increases before validation,\nthe memset writes past the reserved buffer, an out-of-bounds write.\n\nThis out-of-bounds write is masked in some SOCK_RAW paths today because\nthe same concurrent increase can first make skb_push() exceed the\nreserved headroom and trigger skb_under_panic(). Remove the zero-padding\nbranch before making those hard_header_len reads consistent, so the\nsnapshot fixes do not turn a loud panic into a silent overwrite.\n\nThis path is only reached for variable length L2 protocols, where\nlen < hard_header_len but len >= min_header_len. No remaining in-tree\nvariable length L2 protocol implements header_ops->validate, and the\nCAP_SYS_RAWIO bypass that zero-pads and accepts short headers has no\nreal value beyond allowing testing of intentionally malformed input.\n\nDrop the CAP_SYS_RAWIO branch. The remaining reads of\ndev->hard_header_len in dev_validate_header() are comparisons only and\nhave no memory safety impact."
