Description
===========

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

net: devmem: prevent net-iov / page mixing

We should either have net_iov or page backed frags in a single skb,
otherwise it blows up down the stack. Don't allow mixing in
zerocopy_fill_skb_from_devmem().

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
