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

net/packet: fix slab-out-of-bounds access in packet_recvmsg()

syzbot found that when an AFPACKET socket is using PACKETCOPYTHRESH and mmap operations, tpacketrcv() is queueing skbs with garbage in skb->cb[], triggering a too big copy [1]

Presumably, users of af_packet using mmap() already gets correct metadata from the mapped buffer, we can simply make sure to clear 12 bytes that might be copied to user space later.
