This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled geneve: avoid use-after-free of skb->data to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: geneve-avoid-use-after-free-of-skb-data.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Dec 8 07:18:57 CET 2016 From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 16:49:29 +0100 Subject: geneve: avoid use-after-free of skb->data From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5b01014759991887b1e450c9def01e58c02ab81b ] geneve{,6}_build_skb can end up doing a pskb_expand_head(), which makes the ip_hdr(skb) reference we stashed earlier stale. Since it's only needed as an argument to ip_tunnel_ecn_encap(), move this directly in the function call.
