The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in skb_gro_receive in the GRO subsystem when merging zerocopy skbs. A local user can trigger GRO processing with zerocopy skbs to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs when either the source skb or the last skb in the GRO chain is zerocopy and uses managed fragment references.
