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

netrom: check buffer length before accessing it

Syzkaller reports an uninit value read from ax25cmp when sending raw message
through ieee802154 implementation.

=====================================================

This issue occurs because the skb buffer is too small, and it's actual
allocation is aligned. This hides an actual issue, which is that nr_route_frame
does not validate the buffer size before using it.

Fix this issue by checking skb->len before accessing any fields in skb->data.
