A full backtrace would help better understanding the issue.

Why? If I read correctly the above, this is GSO packet landing in an
UDP socket with no UDP_GRO sockopt. The packet is expected to be
segmented again.

What is the 'untrusted source' here? I read the above as the packet
aggregation happened in the GRO engine???

Could you please give a complete description of the relevant scenario?

This looks wrong: real UDP_L4 GSO packets will not segmented anymore
and should be dropped (?!?)
