Subject: [PATCH net 5/5] udp: use skb_set_transport_header_careful() in __udp6_lib_err_encap()
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 13:46:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113124625.4010206-6-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.
__udp6_lib_err_encap() stores @offset, computed by icmpv6_notify() from
the extension headers of the packet embedded in an ICMPv6 error. Should
the value be truncated, the tunnel encap_err_lookup() and err_handler()
callbacks would read the UDP header 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, since @offset is relative to
the IPv6 header embedded in the ICMPv6 error. No reproducer was written,
this is hardening.
Use skb_set_transport_header_careful() and return an error if the
offset can not be stored, in which case udpv6_err() ignores the
ICMPv6 error. Do this before changing the network header, so that
nothing has to be restored on failure.
Fixes: a36e185e8c85 ("udp: Handle ICMP errors for tunnels with same destination port on both endpoints")
