In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: initialize _md in vxlan_xmit_one()
If a VXLAN device is configured with both VXLAN_F_COLLECT_METADATA and VXLAN_F_GBP, and a packet is transmitted through it using an external ip_tunnel_info that lacks the IP_TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT_BIT flag, md is left pointing to the uninitialized _md stack variable:
Because IP_TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT_BIT is not set, md is not updated and remains pointing to _md. Later, vxlan_build_skb() is called with md, which eventually calls vxlan_build_gbp_hdr():
Inside vxlan_build_gbp_hdr(), md->gbp is read:

Inside vxlan_build_gbp_hdr(), md->gbp is read:
If the stack contains garbage, this causes:
- VXLAN_HF_GBP flag to be spuriously set in the VXLAN header.
- gbp->dont_learn and gbp->policy_applied to be set from stack bits.
- gbp->policy_id to receive 16 bits of uninitialized kernel stack data, leaking it onto the wire.
Fix this by zero-initializing _md. If IP_TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT_BIT is not present, md->gbp remains 0, and vxlan_build_gbp_hdr() returns early without modifying the VXLAN header.
