Version: 3.2.35-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-kernel@lists.debian.org

Bug to incorporate the following upstream patch:
commit 6caab7b0544e83e6c160b5e80f5a4a7dd69545c7 upstream.

If lower layer driver leaves the ip header in the skb fragment, it needs to
be first pulled into skb->data before inspecting ip header length or ip version
number.
