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

net: core: reject skb_copy(_expand) for fraglist GSO skbs

SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST skbs must not be linearized, otherwise they become invalid. Return NULL if such an skb is passed to skb_copy or skb_copy_expand, in order to prevent a crash on a potential later call to skb_gso_segment.
