Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: rpl: expand skb head when recompressed SRH grows, not only on last segment
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 21:32:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026042024-cabbie-gills-9371@gregkh> (raw)

ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv() processes a Routing Protocol for LLNs Source Routing
Header by decompressing it, swapping the next segment address into
ipv6_hdr->daddr, recompressing, and pushing the new header back. The
recompressed header can be larger than the original when the
address-elision opportunities are worse after the swap.

The function pulls (hdr->hdrlen + 1) << 3 bytes (the old header) and
pushes (chdr->hdrlen + 1) << 3 + sizeof(ipv6hdr) bytes (the new header
plus the IPv6 header).  pskb_expand_head() is called to guarantee
headroom only when segments_left == 0.

A crafted SRH that loops back to the local host (each segment is a local
address, so ip6_route_input() delivers it back to ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv())
with chdr growing on each pass exhausts headroom over several
iterations.  When skb_push() lands skb->data exactly at skb->head,
skb_reset_network_header() stores 0, and skb_mac_header_rebuild()'s
skb_set_mac_header(skb, -skb->mac_len) computes 0 + (u16)(-14) = 65522.
The subsequent memmove writes 14 bytes at skb->head + 65522.

Expand the head whenever there is insufficient room for the push, not
only on the final segment.
