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

net: tap: set skb->dev before parsing virtio net header in tap_get_user_xdp()

The commit 4f61f133f354 ("net: tap: NULL pointer derefence in
dev_parse_header_protocol when skb->dev is null") fixed a crash in
tap_get_user() by assigning skb->dev before calling tun_vnet_hdr_to_skb().
This is required because virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() may invoke
dev_parse_header_protocol(), which dereferences skb->dev. Without the
assignment, a NULL pointer dereference can occur.

However, tap_get_user_xdp() still parses the virtio-net header before
assigning skb->dev. When the vhost TX path passes an XDP buffer containing
a GSO virtio-net header but the protocol is set to zero on purpose,
tun_vnet_hdr_to_skb() can reach dev_parse_header_protocol() while skb->dev
is still NULL, resulting in a crash.

Fix this by looking up the tap device and assigning skb->dev before calling
tun_vnet_hdr_to_skb(), matching the ordering already used in
tap_get_user(). Preserve the existing RCU read-side critical section across
dev_queue_xmit().
