Subject: [PATCH net 0/3] net: virtio: validate outer protocol of UDP tunnel GSO packets
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 21:31:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103203113.550604-1-edumazet@kernel.org> (raw)
virtio_net_hdr_tnl_to_skb() does not check that a UDP tunnel GSO
packet really has an outer IPv4/IPv6 header matching the declared
tunnel type. A guest, or any tap writer, can send a frame with another
outer ethertype (NSH in the report), and the GSO stack then builds
segments with skb->data before skb->head. The host crashes in
skb_under_panic() as soon as a header is pushed.
Patch 1 adds the missing check. Ethernet frames can carry VLAN tags
before the outer IP header; for IFF_TUN, skb->protocol is provided
by the caller.
Patch 2 fixes a selftest helper computing UDP checksums over a length
in network byte order.
Patch 3 adds tun selftests: valid outer IPv4 frames (plain and VLAN
tagged) are accepted, mismatched or non-IP outer headers are rejected.
