Subject: [PATCH net v1] udp: fix potential use-after-free in tunnel segmentation
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 17:35:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730093554.68127-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

__skb_udp_tunnel_segment() gets the UDP header before ensuring the
tunnel header is in the skb head. If the pull reallocates skb->head,
the saved UDP header pointer is no longer valid.

Get the UDP header after the pull to avoid a potential use-after-free.

Fixes: dbef491ebe7f ("udp: Use uh->len instead of skb->len to compute checksum in segmentation")
