Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: add more sanity checks to qdisc_pkt_len_init()<br />
<br />
One path takes care of SKB_GSO_DODGY, assuming<br />
skb->len is bigger than hdr_len.<br />
<br />
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() does not fully dissect TCP headers,<br />
it only make sure it is at least 20 bytes.<br />
<br />
It is possible for an user to provide a malicious &#39;GSO&#39; packet,<br />
total length of 80 bytes.<br />
<br />
- 20 bytes of IPv4 header<br />
- 60 bytes TCP header<br />
- a small gso_size like 8<br />
<br />
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() would declare this packet as a normal<br />
GSO packet, because it would see 40 bytes of payload,<br />
bigger than gso_size.<br />
<br />
We need to make detect this case to not underflow<br />
qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len.
