When the dissector hits case ETH_P_8021Q, it\nreads a struct vlan_hdr at nhoff via __skb_header_pointer(), but that\noffset contains the inner protocol header (e.g. an IP header). The bytes\nare misinterpreted as a VLAN header, yielding a garbage encapsulated\nEtherType that matches no known protocol. The dissector returns false,\nso skb_probe_transport_header() never calls skb_set_transport_header(),\nleaving transport_header at its uninitialized sentinel value (~0U).\n\nMove skb_probe_transport_header() to before skb_set_network_header(). At\nthe time skb_probe_transport_header() is called, network_header still\npoints to the VLAN header, so nhoff correctly points to the VLAN header.\nThe flow dissector can then parse the VLAN header, extract the inner\nEtherType, and advance nhoff to the inner protocol header, allowing\ntransport_header to be set correctly." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux",
