Subject: [PATCH net 4/5] vxlan: use pskb_network_may_pull() in route_shortcircuit()
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:42:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723144249.759100-5-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723144249.759100-1-edumazet@google.com>

route_shortcircuit() currently calls pskb_may_pull(skb, sizeof(struct iphdr))
(or ipv6hdr), which checks if bytes are available starting from skb->data.

However, in vxlan_xmit(), skb->data points to the MAC header, so
skb_network_offset(skb) is ETH_HLEN (14 bytes). Using pskb_may_pull(skb, 20)
only checks 20 bytes from skb->data (which is 14 bytes MAC header + 6 bytes of
IP header), leaving the rest of the IP header potentially un-pulled in non-linear
frags. Subsequent dereferences of ip_hdr(skb)->daddr can read beyond the pulled
linear buffer length.

Fix this by using pskb_network_may_pull(), which adds skb_network_offset(skb) to
the length check to ensure the full network header is present in the linear buffer.

Fixes: e4f67addf158 ("add DOVE extensions for VXLAN")
