Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: synproxy: fix unaligned access to TCP timestamp option
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 09:44:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607164447.39700-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
synproxy_tstamp_adjust() reads and writes the TSval and TSecr fields of
the TCP Timestamp option via direct __be32 pointer dereferences. These
fields are at byte offsets 2 and 6 within the option, which are only
2-byte aligned — not 4-byte aligned for __be32 access.
Replace with get_unaligned_be32() / put_unaligned_be32() to safely
handle the unaligned access on strict-alignment architectures.
