Vulnerability Details CVE-2024-49979
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: gso: fix tcp fraglist segmentation after pull from frag_list
Detect tcp gso fraglist skbs with corrupted geometry (see below) and
pass these to skb_segment instead of skb_segment_list, as the first
can segment them correctly.
Valid SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST skbs
- consist of two or more segments
- the head_skb holds the protocol headers plus first gso_size
- one or more frag_list skbs hold exactly one segment
- all but the last must be gso_size
Optional datapath hooks such as NAT and BPF (bpf_skb_pull_data) can
modify these skbs, breaking these invariants.
In extreme cases they pull all data into skb linear. For TCP, this
causes a NULL ptr deref in __tcpv4_gso_segment_list_csum at
tcp_hdr(seg->next).
Detect invalid geometry due to pull, by checking head_skb size.
Don't just drop, as this may blackhole a destination. Convert to be
able to pass to regular skb_segment.
Approach and description based on a patch by Willem de Bruijn.
