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

    net/packet: fix slab-out-of-bounds access in packet_recvmsg()

    syzbot found that when an AF_PACKET socket is using PACKET_COPY_THRESH
    and mmap operations, tpacket_rcv() is queueing skbs with
    garbage in skb->cb[], triggering a too big copy [1]

    Presumably, users of af_packet using mmap() already gets correct
    metadata from the mapped buffer, we can simply make sure
    to clear 12 bytes that might be copied to user space later.
