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

net: use skb_header_pointer() for TCPv4 GSO frag_off check

Syzbot reported a KMSAN uninit-value warning in gso_features_check() called from netif_skb_features() [1].

gso_features_check() reads iph->frag_off to decide whether to clear mangleid_features. Accessing the IPv4 header via ip_hdr()/inner_ip_hdr() can rely on skb header offsets that are not always safe for direct dereference on packets injected from PF_PACKET paths.

Use skb_header_pointer() for the TCPv4 frag_off check so the header read is robust whether data is already linear or needs copying.
