Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

ppp: fix ppp_async_encode() illegal access

syzbot reported an issue in ppp_async_encode() [1]

In this case, pppoe_sendmsg() is called with a zero size.
Then ppp_async_encode() is called with an empty skb.
