commit f63c2c2032c2e3caad9add3b82cc6e91c376fd26 upstream. The commit referenced below moved the invocation past the "next" label, without any explanation. In fact this allows misbehaving backends undue control over the domain the frontend runs in, as earlier detected errors require the skb to not be freed (it may be retained for later processing via xennet_move_rx_slot(), or it may simply be unsafe to have it freed). This is CVE-2022-33743 / XSA-405.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
