  "summary": "tipc: fix double-free in tipc_buf_append()",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntipc: fix double-free in tipc_buf_append()\n\ntipc_msg_validate() can potentially reallocate the skb it is validating,\nfreeing the old one.  In tipc_buf_append(), it was being called with a\npointer to a local variable which was a copy of the caller's skb\npointer.\n\nIf the skb was reallocated and validation subsequently failed, the error\nhandling path would free the original skb pointer, which had already\nbeen freed, leading to double-free.\n\nFix this by checking if head now points to a newly allocated reassembled\nskb.  If it does, reassign *headbuf for later freeing operations.",
