In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: associate skb with a device at tx
Syzkaller triggered flow dissector warning with the following:
r0 = openat$ppp(0xffffffffffffff9c, &(0x7f0000000000), 0xc0802, 0x0) ioctl$PPPIOCNEWUNIT(r0, 0xc004743e, &(0x7f00000000c0)) ioctl$PPPIOCSACTIVE(r0, 0x40107446, &(0x7f0000000240)={0x2, &(0x7f0000000180)=[{0x20, 0x0, 0x0, 0xfffff034}, {0x6}]}) pwritev(r0, &(0x7f0000000040)=[{&(0x7f0000000140)='\x00!', 0x2}], 0x1, 0x0, 0x0)

Flow dissector tries to find skb net namespace either via device or via socket. Neigher is set in ppp_send_frame, so let's manually use ppp->dev.
