Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ipvs: avoid out-of-bounds write in ip_vs_nat_icmp<br />
<br />
Sashiko warns that local attacker can modify the packet<br />
while it is processed by IPVS. Some places read the<br />
IP ihl field multiple times which can cause out-of-bounds<br />
access. One such place is ip_vs_nat_icmp where we<br />
can write after the validated area.<br />
<br />
Fix it by providing ciph argument just like it is done for<br />
IPv6 and use ciph->len as offset to the embedded transport<br />
header.<br />
<br />
Modify some IPv4 header checks by reading the ihl field<br />
only once.
