CVE-2026-23011

EUVD-2026-4623
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv4: ip_gre: make ipgre_header() robust

Analog to commit db5b4e39c4e6 ("ip6_gre: make ip6gre_header() robust")

Over the years, syzbot found many ways to crash the kernel
in ipgre_header() [1].

This involves team or bonding drivers ability to dynamically
change their dev->needed_headroom and/or dev->hard_header_len

In this particular crash mld_newpack() allocated an skb
with a too small reserve/headroom, and by the time mld_sendpack()
was called, syzbot managed to attach an ipgre device.
