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

af_packet: fix vlan_get_protocol_dgram() vs MSG_PEEK

Blamed commit forgot MSG_PEEK case, allowing a crash [1] as found by syzbot.

Rework vlan_get_protocol_dgram() to not touch skb at all, so that it can be used from many cpus on the same skb.

Add a const qualifier to skb argument.
