  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  macsec: don't read an unset MAC header in macsec_encrypt()  macsec_encrypt() reads the Ethernet header via eth_hdr(skb) (skb-\u003ehead + skb-\u003emac_header) to memmove() the 12 source/destination MAC bytes forward and make room for the SecTAG.  On the AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW + PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS transmit path the skb reaches the macsec ndo_start_xmit() with the MAC header unset, so eth_hdr(skb) resolves to skb-\u003ehead + (u16)~0 and the read is out of bounds: a 12-byte heap over-read that is also emitted on the wire as the frame's outer source/destination MAC. KASAN reports a slab-out-of-bounds read in macsec_start_xmit() on 6.0; on current mainline a CONFIG_DEBUG_NET build flags it as an unset mac header in skb_mac_header().  On the TX path the L2 header is at skb-\u003edata, so use skb_eth_hdr(), added by commit 96cc4b69581d (\"macvlan: do not assume mac_header is set in macvlan_broadcast()\") for exactly this purpose.",
