linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nsh: Restore skb->{protocol,data,mac_header} for outer header in nsh_gso_segment().
syzbot triggered various splats (see [0] and links) by a crafted GSO
packet of VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP layering the following protocols:
ETH_P_8021AD + ETH_P_NSH + ETH_P_IPV6 + IPPROTO_UDP
NSH can encapsulate IPv4, IPv6, Ethernet, NSH, and MPLS. As the inner
protocol can be Ethernet, NSH GSO handler, nsh_gso_segment(), calls
skb_mac_gso_segment() to invoke inner protocol GSO handlers.
nsh_gso_segment() does the following for the original skb before
calling skb_mac_gso_segment()
1. reset skb->network_header
2. save the original skb->{mac_heaeder,mac_len} in a local variable
3. pull the NSH header
4. resets skb->mac_header
5. set up skb->mac_len and skb->protocol for the inner protocol.
and does the following for the segmented skb
6. set ntohs(ETH_P_NSH) to skb->protocol
7. push the NSH header
8. restore skb->mac
