====================
tap/tun: harden by dropping short frame
This is to harden all of tap/tun to avoid any short frame smaller than the
Ethernet header (ETH_HLEN).
While the xen-netback already rejects short frame smaller than ETH_HLEN ...
914 static void xenvif_tx_build_gops(struct xenvif_queue *queue,
915 int budget,
916 unsigned *copy_ops,
917 unsigned *map_ops)
918 {
... ...
1007 if (unlikely(txreq.size < ETH_HLEN)) {
1008 netdev_dbg(queue->vif->dev,
1009 "Bad packet size: %d\n", txreq.size);
1010 xenvif_tx_err(queue, &txreq, extra_count, idx);
1011 break;
1012 }
... the short frame may not be dropped by vhost-net/tap/tun.
This fixes CVE-2024-41090 and CVE-2024-41091.

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 reStructuredText 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.
