Subject: [PATCH net 08/13] ipvs: clear IPv4 options after rebasing tunnel ICMP errors
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 21:06:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810190621.894119-9-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810190621.894119-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Kyle Zeng <kylebot@openai.com>
ip_vs_in_icmp() rebases an skb from the outer ICMP packet to the
quoted original request before passing it to icmp_send(). However,
IPCB(skb)->opt still describes the outer IPv4 header.
A timestamp option in the outer header can therefore leave an offset
that points into the quoted transport header after the rebase.
__ip_options_echo() treats a byte at that stale location as the option
length and copies it into the fixed-size option storage on the
__icmp_send() stack, causing a stack out-of-bounds write.
Clear the stale option metadata after resetting the network header.
Keep the remaining control block fields, including the ingress
interface used by the ICMP response path.
Fixes: f2edb9f7706d ("ipvs: implement passive PMTUD for IPIP packets")
