CVE-2026-98554

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

vlan: ensure sufficient headroom in vlan_dev_hard_header()

Callers that only reserve ETH_HLEN or less (such as llc_alloc_frame()),
or skbs allocated before dynamic device/headroom changes (e.g. toggling
VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR or bonding/team switching slaves), can reach
vlan_dev_hard_header() with insufficient headroom and trigger
skb_under_panic().

Use skb_cow_head() in vlan_dev_hard_header() when VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR
is not set to ensure sufficient headroom for the VLAN header(s) and the
underlying device hard header.

Use READ_ONCE() to read dev->hard_header_len and dev->needed_headroom as
they can be updated concurrently under RTNL (e.g. in
vlan_transfer_features()) while vlan_dev_hard_header() runs locklessly on
the transmit path. Also avoid LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) here so that the
extra HH_DATA_MOD alignment padding does not trigger unnecessary
pskb_expand_head() reallocations on inner stacked VLAN devices after the
outer VLAN header has been pushed.
