The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in geneve_gro_complete() when processing encapsulated geneve packets. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to cause a denial of service.
The issue can occur when the GRO hint state changes concurrently or when re-read option bytes differ from the ones previously parsed.
