Subject: [PATCH] ip_frag: fix IPv6 fragmentation of short packets
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 13:13:33 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019101333.71145-1-bigalex934@gmail.com> (raw)
rte_ipv6_fragment_packet() does not check that the first mbuf segment
is large enough to hold the IPv6 header, unlike the IPv4 version,
which validates data_len against the header length.
With data_len < 40, in_seg_data_pos starts past the end of the
segment, the expression (in_seg->data_len - in_seg_data_pos)
underflows and the loop never advances to the next segment, so it
keeps producing fragments and writing past the end of pkts_out.
Reject such packets with -EINVAL, as rte_ipv4_fragment_packet() does.
Fixes: 0aa31d7a5929 ("ip_frag: add IPv6 fragmentation support")
