CVE-2025-37749

net: ppp: Add bound checking for skb data on ppp_sync_txmung

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: ppp: Add bound checking for skb data on ppp_sync_txmung

Ensure we have enough data in linear buffer from skb before accessing
initial bytes. This prevents potential out-of-bounds accesses
when processing short packets.

When ppp_sync_txmung receives an incoming package with an empty
payload:
(remote) gef➤  p *(struct pppoe_hdr *) (skb->head + skb->network_header)
$18 = {
	type = 0x1,
	ver = 0x1,
	code = 0x0,
	sid = 0x2,
        length = 0x0,
	tag = 0xffff8880371cdb96
}

from the skb struct (trimmed)
      tail = 0x16,
      end = 0x140,
      head = 0xffff88803346f400 "4",
      data = 0xffff88803346f416 ":\377",
      truesize = 0x380,
      len = 0x0,
      data_len = 0x0,
      mac_len = 0xe,
      hdr_len = 0x0,

it is not safe to access data[2].
