Subject: [PATCH net 2/5] vxlan: unclone skb head before modifying eth header in route_shortcircuit()
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:42:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723144249.759100-3-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723144249.759100-1-edumazet@google.com>
When route_shortcircuit() performs L3 short-circuit routing, it modifies
the Ethernet header of the skb in-place:
memcpy(eth_hdr(skb)->h_source, eth_hdr(skb)->h_dest, dev->addr_len);
memcpy(eth_hdr(skb)->h_dest, n->ha, dev->addr_len);
If the incoming skb is cloned (for example by packet sockets, tcpdump, or
dev_queue_xmit), modifying the Ethernet header without uncloning can corrupt
the packet header for other readers holding a reference to the cloned skb.
Ensure the skb header is writable and unshared by calling skb_cow_head(skb, 0)
prior to updating the Ethernet header. If skb_cow_head() fails, abort short-circuiting
and return false to allow standard packet processing fallback.
Fixes: e4f67addf158 ("add DOVE extensions for VXLAN")
