<br />
l2tp: Drop large packets with UDP encap<br />
<br />
syzbot reported a WARN on my patch series [1]. The actual issue is an<br />
overflow of 16-bit UDP length field, and it exists in the upstream code.<br />
My series added a debug WARN with an overflow check that exposed the<br />
issue, that&#39;s why syzbot tripped on my patches, rather than on upstream<br />
code.<br />
<br />
syzbot&#39;s repro:<br />
<br />
r0 = socket$pppl2tp(0x18, 0x1, 0x1)<br />
r1 = socket$inet6_udp(0xa, 0x2, 0x0)<br />
connect$inet6(r1, &(0x7f00000000c0)={0xa, 0x0, 0x0, @loopback, 0xfffffffc}, 0x1c)<br />
connect$pppl2tp(r0, &(0x7f0000000240)=@pppol2tpin6={0x18, 0x1, {0x0, r1, 0x4, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, {0xa, 0x4e22, 0xffff, @ipv4={&#39;\x00&#39;, &#39;\xff\xff&#39;, @empty}}}}, 0x32)<br />
writev(r0, &(0x7f0000000080)=[{&(0x7f0000000000)="ee", 0x34000}], 0x1)<br />
<br />
It basically sends an oversized (0x34000 bytes) PPPoL2TP packet with UDP<br />
encapsulation, and l2tp_xmit_core doesn&#39;t check for overflows when it<br />
assigns the UDP length field. The value gets trimmed to 16 bites.<br />
<br />
Add an overflow check that drops oversized packets and avoids sending<br />
packets with trimmed UDP length to the wire.<br />
<br />
