Subject: [PATCH net 2/5] ipv6: mcast: use skb_set_transport_header_careful() in ipv6_mc_check_exthdrs()
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 13:46:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113124625.4010206-3-edumazet@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113124625.4010206-1-edumazet@kernel.org>
skb->transport_header is a 16-bit offset from skb->head, and U16_MAX is
reserved as the "not set" value. skb_set_transport_header() silently
truncates an offset that does not fit.
ipv6_mc_check_exthdrs() stores the offset returned by ipv6_skip_exthdr(),
which depends on the extension headers found in the packet. Should the
value be truncated, ipv6_mc_check_icmpv6() and ipv6_mc_check_mld_msg()
would then validate and parse the MLD message at the wrong place.
Since commit 3744b0964d52 ("ipv6: Implement limits on extension header
parsing") a single chain is bounded to IP6_MAX_EXT_HDRS_CNT headers
(24576 bytes), so this needs a large skb->data - skb->head on top of it,
for instance after several nested decapsulations, each of them possibly
pulling its own extension header chain. No reproducer was written,
this is hardening.
Use skb_set_transport_header_careful() and treat such a packet as
broken (-EINVAL).
Fixes: 9afd85c9e455 ("net: Export IGMP/MLD message validation code")
