Vincent Mailhol <mailhol@kernel.org> says: Four drivers, namely etas_es58x, hi311x, sun4i_can and mcba_usb forgot to populate their net_device_ops->ndo_change_mtu(). Because of that, the user is free to configure any MTU on these interfaces. This can be abused by an attacker who could craft some skbs and send them through PF_PACKET to perform a buffer overflow of up to 247 bytes in each of these drivers. This series contains four patches, one for each of the drivers, to add the missing ndo_change_mtu() callback. The descriptions contain detailed explanations of how the buffer overflow could be triggered.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
