kernel: pppoe: reload header pointer after dev_hard_header()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet implementation. This vulnerability occurs because a pointer to network packet data is not updated after memory is reallocated, leading to the use of an outdated memory address. An attacker with local access could...
