In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: iptunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth syzkaller triggered following kasan splat: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in skbflowdissect+0x19d1/0x7a50 net/core/flowdissector.c:1170 Read of size 1 at addr ffff88812fb4000e by task syz-executor183/5191 [..] kasanreport+0xda/0x110 mm/kasan/report.c:588 _skbflowdissect+0x19d1/0x7a50 net/core/flowdissector.c:1170 skbflowdissectflowkeys include/linux/skbuff.h:1514 [inline] _skbgethash net/core/flowdissector.c:1791 [inline] _skbgethash+0xc7/0x540 net/core/flowdissector.c:1856 skbgethash include/linux/skbuff.h:1556 [inline] iptunnelxmit+0x1855/0x33c0 net/ipv4/iptunnel.c:748 ipiptunnelxmit+0x3cc/0x4e0 net/ipv4/ipip.c:308 _netdevstartxmit include/linux/netdevice.h:4940 [inline] netdevstartxmit include/linux/netdevice.h:4954 [inline] xmitone net/core/dev.c:3548 [inline] devhardstartxmit+0x13d/0x6d0 net/core/dev.c:3564 _devqueuexmit+0x7c1/0x3d60 net/core/dev.c:4349 devqueuexmit include/linux/netdevice.h:3134 [inline] neighconnectedoutput+0x42c/0x5d0 net/core/neighbour.c:1592 ... ipfinishoutput2+0x833/0x2550 net/ipv4/ipoutput.c:235 ipfinishoutput+0x31/0x310 net/ipv4/ipoutput.c:323 .. iptunnelxmit+0x5b4/0x9b0 net/ipv4/iptunnelcore.c:82 iptunnelxmit+0x1dbc/0x33c0 net/ipv4/iptunnel.c:831 ipgrexmit+0x4a1/0x980 net/ipv4/ipgre.c:665 _netdevstartxmit include/linux/netdevice.h:4940 [inline] netdevstartxmit include/linux/netdevice.h:4954 [inline] xmitone net/core/dev.c:3548 [inline] devhardstartxmit+0x13d/0x6d0 net/core/dev.c:3564 ... The splat occurs because skb->data points past skb->head allocated area. This is because neigh layer does: _skbpull(skb, skbnetworkoffset(skb)); ... but skbnetworkoffset() returns a negative offset and _skbpull() arg is unsigned. IOW, we skb->data gets "adjusted" by a huge value. The negative value is returned because skb->head and skb->data distance is more than 64k and skb->networkheader (u16) has wrapped around. The bug is in the iptunnel infrastructure, which can cause dev->neededheadroom to increment ad infinitum. The syzkaller reproducer consists of packets getting routed via a gre tunnel, and route of gre encapsulated packets pointing at another (ipip) tunnel. The ipip encapsulation finds gre0 as next output device. This results in the following pattern: 1). First packet is to be sent out via gre0. Route lookup found an output device, ipip0. 2). iptunnelxmit for gre0 bumps gre0->neededheadroom based on the future output device, rt.dev->neededheadroom (ipip0). 3). ip output / startxmit moves skb on to ipip0. which runs the same code path again (xmit recursion). 4). Routing step for the post-gre0-encap packet finds gre0 as output device to use for ipip0 encapsulated packet. tunl0->neededheadroom is then incremented based on the (already bumped) gre0 device headroom. This repeats for every future packet: gre0->neededheadroom gets inflated because previous packets' ipip0 step incremented rt->dev (gre0) headroom, and ipip0 incremented because gre0 neededheadroom was increased. For each subsequent packet, gre/ipip0->neededheadroom grows until post-expand-head reallocations result in a skb->head/data distance of more than 64k. Once that happens, skb->networkheader (u16) wraps around when pskbexpandhead tries to make sure that skbnetworkoffset() is unchanged after the headroom expansion/reallocation. After this skbnetworkoffset(skb) returns a different (and negative) result post headroom expansion. The next trip to neigh layer (or anything else that would _skbpull the network header) makes skb->data point to a memory location outside skb->head area. v2: Cap the neededheadroom update to an arbitarily chosen upperlimit to prevent perpetual increase instead of dropping the headroom increment completely.
