Because skb_headroom(p) includes\n mac_len, crafted frames (e.g. injected via AF_PACKET) can pass the check\n with p->mac_header < 8 bytes. When ipv6_gro_complete() inserts the\n temporary HBH jumbo header, the memmove() starts before skb->head,\n causing an out-of-bounds write and wrapping skb->mac_header.\n2. It allowed non-IP protocols such as software VLAN (ETH_P_8021Q /\n ETH_P_8021AD) to aggregate beyond 64KB because\n p->protocol != ETH_P_IPV6 was true.\n3.
