Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] nsh: limit recursion in nsh_gso_segment()
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 11:19:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112102001.3744643-1-edumazet@kernel.org> (raw)
Sashiko found that nsh_gso_segment() can call itself, through
skb_mac_gso_segment(), once per stacked NSH header. Nothing limits the
depth, and a 64KB GSO packet made of 8-byte NSH headers overflows the
kernel stack. It was reported while reviewing an unrelated virtio
series [1].
Such a packet can be sent with a packet socket using PACKET_VNET_HDR,
when the nsh module is loaded.
Patch 1 uses the recursion counter added in commit 006c8b834aed ("net:
gso: limit recursive IP-in-IP segmentation"), with the same limit as
IPv4 and IPv6.
Patch 2 adds a selftest: it panics an unfixed kernel, and passes with
patch 1.
