[PATCH net] net: hsr: fix potential OOB access in supervision frame handling

[luka.gejak]

From: Luka Gejak <luka.gejak@linux.dev>

Ensure the entire TLV header is linearized before access by adding
sizeof(struct hsr_sup_tlv) to the pskb_may_pull() calls. Without this,
a truncated frame could cause an out-of-bounds access.

Assisted-by: Gemini:Gemini-3.1-flash
Fixes: eafaa88b3eb7 ("net: hsr: Add support for redbox supervision frames")
