CVE-2024-35888 Affecting kernel-rt-core package, versions <0:4.18.0-553.8.1.rt7.349.el8_10

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-core package and not the kernel-rt-core package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

erspan: make sure erspan_base_hdr is present in skb->head

syzbot reported a problem in ip6erspan_rcv() [1]

Issue is that ip6erspan_rcv() (and erspan_rcv()) no longer make sure erspan_base_hdr is present in skb linear part (skb->head) before getting @ver field from it.

Add the missing pskb_may_pull() calls.

v2: Reload iph pointer in erspan_rcv() after pskb_may_pull() because skb->head might have changed.
