# CVE-2024-35888

> 7.3 HIGH

## Beschreibung

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.
