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

ip link set t-dummy up $ ip link set team0 up $ ip link set t-dummy.100
down $ ip link set t-dummy.100 master team0 When enslave a vlan device to
team device and team device type is changed from non-ether to ether,
header_ops of team device is changed to vlan_header_ops. That is incorrect
and will trigger null-ptr-deref for vlan->real_dev in
vlan_dev_hard_header() because team device is not a vlan device. Cache
eth_header_ops in team_setup(), then assign cached header_ops to header_ops
of team net device when its type is changed from non-ether to ether to fix
the bug.
