The IP stack in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (stack consumption and panic) or possibly have
unspecified other impact by triggering use of the GRO path for packets with
tunnel stacking, as demonstrated by interleaved IPv4 headers and GRE
headers, a related issue to CVE-2016-7039.
