In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k_htc: Use __skbsetlength() for resetting urb before resubmit
Syzbot points out that skb_trim() has a sanity check on the existing length of the skb, which can be uninitialised in some error paths. The intent here is clearly just to reset the length to zero before resubmitting, so switch to calling __skbsetlength(skb, 0) directly. In addition, _skbsetlength() already contains a call to skbresettailpointer(), so remove the redundant call.
The syzbot report came from ath9khifusbregincb(), but there's a similar usage of skbtrim() in ath9khifusbrxcb(), change both while we're at it.
