Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: use skb_header_pointer() in gso_features_check() for TCPv4 GSO
Date: Sun,  8 Mar 2026 16:33:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308083319.1255118-1-yss2813483011xxl@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260307162905.3697050-1-yss2813483011xxl@gmail.com>

Syzbot reported a KMSAN uninit-value warning in netif_skb_features() [1],
which originates from gso_features_check():

  BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in gso_features_check net/core/dev.c:3804 [inline]

   packet_snd net/packet/af_packet.c:3077 [inline]
   packet_sendmsg+0x91d9/0xa320 net/packet/af_packet.c:3109

The current code dereferences iph->frag_off directly to decide whether to
clear mangleid_features. For malformed or truncated skb data, this can
read invalid/uninitialized header bytes.

Use skb_header_pointer() to read the IPv4 header safely from either the
outer or inner network header offset. If the header is not accessible,
conservatively clear mangleid_features.

This keeps the original behavior for valid packets while fixing the unsafe
header access pattern.

Fixes: cbc53e08a793 ("GSO: Add GSO type for fixed IPv4 ID")
Reported-by: syzbot+1543a7d954d9c6d00407@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/68e4b5d8.050a0220.256323.0018.GAE@google.com/T/

v2:
 - Drop the SKB_GSO_DODGY shortcut.
 - Use skb_header_pointer() for safe IPv4 header access.
 - Add missing Fixes tag as requested.
