Subject: [PATCH 02/14] xfrm: interface: validate the IP header on xmit
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 10:04:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102100451.2505200-3-steffen.klassert@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102100451.2505200-1-steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
From: Qihang <q.h.hack.winter@gmail.com>
Packets injected into an xfrm interface (e.g. AF_PACKET on an xfrmi
device) reach the xfrm output path without IP header validation, but
xfrm4_transport_output() uses iph->ihl for __skb_pull() and memmove()
and expects the header to be valid.
vti_tunnel_xmit() already calls pskb_inet_may_pull() before handing
packets to the xfrm output path. Do the same in xfrmi_xmit() and
perform the header checks ip_rcv_core()/ip6_rcv_core() do on entry
to the IP stack: reject wrong IP versions and malformed IPv4 header
lengths.
Fixes: f203b76d7809 ("xfrm: Add virtual xfrm interfaces")
