CVE-2026-80615CVE-2026-80615
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dst_metadata: fix false-positive memcpy overflow in tun_dst_unclone
kmalloc_flex() in metadata_dst_alloc() sets __counted_by for the
structure to the options_len, which is then initialized to zero.
Later, we're initializing the structure by copying the tunnel info
together with the options, and this triggers a warning for a potential
memcpy overflow, since the compiler estimates that the options can't
fit into the structure, even though the memory for them is actually
allocated.
memcpy: detected buffer overflow: 104 byte write of buffer size 96
WARNING: CPU: X PID: Y at lib/string_helpers.c:1036 __fortify_report
skb_tunnel_info_unclone+0x179/0x190
geneve_xmit+0x7fe/0xe00
The issue is triggered when built with clang and source fortification.
Fix that by doing the copy in two stages: first - the main data with
the options_len, then the options. This way the correct length should
be known at the time of t
