Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ip6_tunnel: clear skb2->cb[] in ip6ip6_err()<br />
<br />
ip6ip6_err() clones an outer IPv6 ICMP error skb, pulls it to the<br />
quoted inner IPv6 packet, and then passes the clone to icmpv6_send().<br />
The clone still carries the outer packet&#39;s inet6_skb_parm in skb->cb.<br />
<br />
If the outer packet had a Home Address Option, IP6CB(skb2)->dsthao<br />
remains non-zero after skb_pull(). icmpv6_send() later calls<br />
mip6_addr_swap(), which uses that stale dsthao offset against the quoted<br />
inner packet. A malformed inner destination-options header can then make<br />
the HAO lookup and address swap run past the end of the quoted packet<br />
and corrupt skb_shared_info.<br />
<br />
Clear skb2->cb[] before pulling the quoted inner IPv6 packet so the<br />
reply path does not reuse metadata left by the outer IPv6 stack.
