Subject: [PATCH 6.18 47/94] ipv4: reject undersized MTUs in ip_do_fragment()
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 15:25:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825132543.750507334@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825132541.887883084@linuxfoundation.org>
6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Yong Wang <edragain@163.com>
commit c0726f0caf8c6b3208552949e17d23634a2f3129 upstream.
ip_do_fragment() subtracts the IPv4 header length from the effective
MTU and passes the resulting payload MTU to ip_frag_next().
If the effective MTU is smaller than hlen + 8, ip_frag_next() rounds
the fragment payload length down to zero. The fragmentation state then
never makes forward progress: state->left, state->ptr and state->offset
stay unchanged while ip_do_fragment() keeps allocating and transmitting
header-only fragments until the softlockup detector fires.
This is reproducible with a route installed using "mtu lock 20", but it
is also reproducible without route MTU lock, for example by forwarding a
packet to a device whose MTU is 20.
Fix it in ip_do_fragment() by rejecting mtu < hlen + 8 with -EMSGSIZE,
matching the existing IPv6 fragmentation check.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
