{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53107","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  veth: Fix use after free in XDP_REDIRECT  Commit 718a18a0c8a6 (\"veth: Rework veth_xdp_rcv_skb in order to accept non-linear skb\") introduced a bug where it tried to use pskb_expand_head() if the headroom was less than XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM.  This however uses kmalloc to expand the head, which will later allow consume_skb() to free the skb while is it still in use by AF_XDP.  Previously if the headroom was less than XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM we continued on to allocate a new skb from pages so this restores that behavior.
