In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gtp: check skb_pull_data() return in gtp1u_send_echo_resp()
gtp1u_send_echo_resp() ignores skb_pull_data()'s return value. Its
caller gtp1u_udp_encap_recv() only guarantees 16 bytes (udphdr +
gtp1_header), but the pull requests 20 (gtp1_header_long + udphdr). For
a 16-19 byte echo request the pull fails and returns NULL without
advancing skb->data; execution continues, and the following skb_push()
plus the IP header pushed by iptunnel_xmit() move skb->data below
skb->head, tripping skb_under_panic().
Fix it by dropping the packet when skb_pull_data() fails.
