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

xsk: fix usage of multi-buffer BPF helpers for ZC XDP

Currently when packet is shrunk via bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and memory
type is set to MEM_TYPE_XSK_BUFF_POOL, null ptr dereference happens:

This comes from __xdp_return() call with xdp_buff argument passed as
NULL which is supposed to be consumed by xsk_buff_free() call.

To address this properly, in ZC case, a node that represents the frag
being removed has to be pulled out of xskb_list. Introduce
appropriate xsk helpers to do such node operation and use them
accordingly within bpf_xdp_adjust_tail().
