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

vxlan: re-fetch eth header after route_shortcircuit()

Before route_shortcircuit(), the eth header pointer is cached from eth_hdr(skb).

Inside route_shortcircuit(), pskb_may_pull() can be called, which may
reallocate skb->head.

In this case, returning to vxlan_xmit() leaves the cached eth pointer pointing to
freed memory, leading to a use-after-free when dereferencing eth->h_dest.

Fix this by updating eth = eth_hdr(skb) after calling route_shortcircuit().
