Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Linux kernel VLAN devices are affected from 2.6.12 before the fixes in the listed stable branches, and the source gives few details beyond the description. Toggling hardware VLAN TX offload on a lower device could change a VLAN device's header length while other code read it without locking, which could cause a kernel panic (skb_under_panic) when headers are built. The advisory does not state an attacker requirement or privilege level. Upgrade to a fixed kernel release for your branch; the CNA lists fixed versions from 6.1.191, 6.6.158, 6.12.111, and 6.18.51 onward.
