CVE-2026-53131

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: require Ethernet MAC header before using eth_hdr()

`ip6t_eui64`, `xt_mac`, the `bitmap:ip,mac`, `hash:ip,mac`, and

`hash:mac` ipset types, and `nf_log_syslog` access `eth_hdr(skb)`

after either assuming that the skb is associated with an Ethernet

device or checking only that the `ETH_HLEN` bytes at

`skb_mac_header(skb)` lie between `skb->head` and `skb->data`.

Make these paths first verify that the skb is associated with an

Ethernet device, that the MAC header was set, and that it spans at

least a full Ethernet header before accessing `eth_hdr(skb)`.
