In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: drop UFO packets in udp_rcv_segment()
When sending a packet with virtio_net_hdr to tun device, if the gso_type
in virtio_net_hdr is SKB_GSO_UDP and the gso_size is less than udphdr
size, below crash may happen.

To trigger gso segment in udp_queue_rcv_skb(), we should also set option
UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP to enable udp_sk(sk)->encap_rcv. When the encap_rcv
hook return 1 in udp_queue_rcv_one_skb(), udp_csum_pull_header() will try
to pull udphdr, but the skb size has been segmented to gso size, which
leads to this crash.
Previous commit cf329aa42b66 ("udp: cope with UDP GRO packet misdirection")
introduces segmentation in UDP receive path only for GRO, which was never
intended to be used for UFO, so drop UFO packets in udp_rcv_segment().
