In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: idpf:
fix kernel panic on unknown packet types In the very rare case where a
packet type is unknown to the driver, idpf_rx_process_skb_fields would
return early without calling eth_type_trans to set the skb protocol / the
network layer handler. This is especially problematic if tcpdump is running
when such a packet is received, i.e. it would cause a kernel panic.
Instead, call eth_type_trans for every single packet, even when the packet
type is unknown.
