Subject: [PATCH net 01/17] netfilter: nf_conntrack_reasm: guard mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defrag
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 16:02:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708140309.19633-2-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708140309.19633-1-fw@strlen.de>

From: Xiang Mei <xmei5@asu.edu>

nf_ct_frag6_reasm() slides the packet head forward to drop the IPv6
fragment header and then unconditionally advances skb->mac_header:

	skb->mac_header += sizeof(struct frag_hdr);

On the NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT defrag path the skb has no link-layer header
yet, so skb->mac_header is still the "not set" sentinel (u16)~0U. Adding
sizeof(struct frag_hdr) wraps it to a small value (0xffff + 8 == 7),
after which skb_mac_header_was_set() wrongly reports a MAC header is
present and skb_mac_header() points into the headroom.

The reassembler has done this unconditional add since it was introduced;
it was harmless while mac_header was a bare pointer, but wrong once
mac_header became a u16 offset whose unset state is the ~0U sentinel
tested by skb_mac_header_was_set(). The sibling net/ipv6/reassembly.c
does the same relocation and does guard the adjustment; mirror the
guard here.
