Subject: [PATCH] net: geneve: gate GRO completion hints on socket config
Date: Sat, 6 Jun 2026 18:34:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607013406.7294-1-kylebot@openai.com> (raw)
Geneve GRO receive only consumes the netdev GRO hint option when the
receiving Geneve socket has gro_hint enabled. geneve_gro_complete(),
however, parses the hint option directly with geneve_opt_gro_hint_off()
and therefore extends the completion offset even for sockets that did not
enable hint processing.
That lets a packet for a normal Geneve socket carry a syntactically valid
hint with an attacker-controlled nested_hdr_len. GRO receive validates
and pulls only the ordinary Geneve header/options, but completion can then
run the inner protocol completion callback at nhoff + gh_len where gh_len
includes the untrusted hint length. This can make completion access beyond
the header area validated by receive.
Use geneve_sk_gro_hint_off() in the completion path, matching receive and
post-decap processing, so the hint is honored only for sockets that enabled
the feature.
Fixes: fd0dd796576e ("geneve: use GRO hint option in the RX path")
