CVE-2025-38718

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

sctp: linearize cloned gso packets in sctp_rcv

A cloned head skb still shares these frag skbs in fraglist with the original head skb. It's not safe to access these frag skbs.

syzbot reported two use-of-uninitialized-memory bugs caused by this:

This patch fixes it by linearizing cloned gso packets in sctp_rcv().
