Subject: [PATCH] cipso: fix optlen corruption in cipso_v4_delopt()
cipso_v4_delopt() recomputes the option length by walking the option
buffer after the CIPSO option has been moved out. The walk then reads
the stale bytes at the tail of the buffer as option data, and a crafted
setsockopt(IP_OPTIONS) buffer can make it treat one of them as an option
length, increasing opt->opt.optlen beyond the valid option data.
The corrupted length stays on the socket and is later used as the copy
length by getsockopt(IP_OPTIONS) and by the udp/raw/ping sendmsg paths,
where it exceeds the size of the buffers they copy into.
Compute the new length from the intact options before the move and
subtract the CIPSO length, and fill the padding with IPOPT_END.

[ Upstream commit 058a8f7f73aae1cc22b53fcefec031b9e391b54d ]
This patch adds three APIs to replace the iph->tot_len setting
and getting in all places where IPv4 BIG TCP packets may reach,
they will be used in the following patches.
Note that iph_totlen() will be used when iph is not in linear
data of the skb.

[ Upstream commit 89aa3619d141d6cfb6040a561aebb6d99d3e2285 ]
As the comment in this function says, the code currently just clears the
CIPSO part with IPOPT_NOP, rather than removing it completely and
trimming the packet. The other cipso_v4_*_delattr() functions, however,
do the proper removal and also calipso_skbuff_delattr() makes an effort
to remove the CALIPSO options instead of replacing them with padding.
Some routers treat IPv4 packets with anything (even NOPs) in the option
header as a special case and take them through a slower processing path.
Consequently, hardening guides such as STIG recommend to configure such
routers to drop packets with non-empty IP option headers [1][2]. Thus,
users might expect NetLabel to produce packets with minimal padding (or
at least with no padding when no actual options are present).
Implement the proper option removal to address this and to be closer to
what the peer functions do.

cipso_v4_delopt() recomputes the option length by walking the option
buffer after the CIPSO option has been moved out. The walk then reads
the stale bytes at the tail of the buffer as option data, and a crafted
setsockopt(IP_OPTIONS) buffer can make it treat one of them as an option

The corrupted length stays on the socket and is later used as the copy
length by getsockopt(IP_OPTIONS) and by the udp/raw/ping sendmsg paths,
where it exceeds the size of the buffers they copy into.
Compute the new length from the intact options before the move and
subtract the CIPSO length, and fill the padding with IPOPT_END.
