Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: openvswitch: do not set transport header on later IPv4 fragments
Date: Fri,  2 Oct 2026 21:54:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002195436.8473-1-fmancera@suse.de> (raw)

Currently, check_iphdr() sets the transport header offset for all IPv4
packets, including later fragments that do not contain an L4 header.

As discussed, let's not set the transport header for non-first IPv4
fragments to prevent a future out-of-bounds memory access that can
happen silently because the warning at skb_transport_header_offset()
does not trigger. In addition, defer the transport_len calculation until
after the fragment check.

Sashiko: If you notice a similar problem at IPv6 path, we have fixed it
already in net tree, here is submission:
