Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/2] geneve: validate inner network offset in geneve_gro_complete()
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 20:26:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618032622.484720-2-xmei5@asu.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618032622.484720-1-xmei5@asu.edu>

Even with both paths gated on gs->gro_hint, geneve_gro_complete()
re-derives the inner dispatch type and length from the packet and the
current gs->gro_hint, independently of geneve_gro_receive(). The two can
disagree if gs->gro_hint flips under a concurrent geneve_quiesce()/
geneve_unquiesce() (sk_user_data is NULL across a synchronize_net()), or if
the re-read option bytes differ from the ones receive parsed.

geneve_gro_receive() already records the inner network header position in
NAPI_GRO_CB()->inner_network_offset. Have geneve_gro_complete() compute the
offset it is about to dispatch at, adding ETH_HLEN in the ETH_P_TEB case
where eth_gro_complete() steps over the inner MAC header, and bail out if
it lands past inner_network_offset.

Use a lower bound rather than exact equality: between gh_len and the inner
L3 header, geneve_gro_receive() may also have pulled an inner VLAN tag
(vlan_gro_receive() advances the recorded offset past it), which only moves
inner_network_offset further out. A valid frame therefore always satisfies
inner_nh <= inner_network_offset, while a gh_len inflated by a hint
gro_receive() did not honour dispatches past the validated inner header,
i.e. the out-of-bounds completion. Only the latter is rejected.
