Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/2] virtio-net: Ensure that TCP packets don't overflow gso_segs
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 20:46:13 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813174613.2920246-3-alice.kernel@fastmail.im> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813174613.2920246-1-alice.kernel@fastmail.im>

From: Alice Mikityanska <alice@isovalent.com>

The user can specify any gso_size in a packet crafted with an AF_PACKET
PACKET_VNET_HDR socket, even smaller than TCP_MIN_GSO_SIZE = 8. At the
same time, GSO_MAX_SIZE = 8 * GSO_MAX_SEGS = 8 * 65535. When the user
crafts a packet with gso_size < 8, there is a risk for partial GSO to
overflow the 16-bit gso_segs field when dividing the SKB length by
gso_size.

Adjust gso_size of TCP packets to be at least TCP_MIN_GSO_SIZE = 8. Keep
gso_size of UDP GSO packets, as gso_size=1 is valid and explicitly
tested at tools/testing/selftests/net/tun.c:649.
