CVE-2025-68776

Description

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

net/hsr: fix NULL pointer dereference in prp_get_untagged_frame()

prp_get_untagged_frame() calls __pskb_copy() to create frame->skb_std
but doesn't check if the allocation failed. If __pskb_copy() returns
NULL, skb_clone() is called with a NULL pointer, causing a crash:

Add a NULL check immediately after __pskb_copy() to handle allocation
failures gracefully.
