The inner\npacket therefore bypasses ip_rcv_core(), which normally clears IPCB\nbefore IPv4 interprets skb->cb.\n\nThe skb instead retains IP6CB data from the outer packet. IP6CB and\nIPCB use the same skb->cb storage, so IP6CB(skb)->lastopt overlaps\nIPCB(skb)->opt.optlen and srr, while IP6CB(skb)->nhoff overlaps rr and\nts.\n\nThe sender can make the stale optlen byte nonzero with a valid outer\nextension-header chain. The reproducers put an eight-byte Destination\nOptions header immediately after the 40-byte IPv6 header and before the\nSegment Routing Header. ipv6_destopt_rcv() records the sender-controlled\nDestination Options offset in both lastopt and nhoff, setting them to\n40. On the reproduced little-endian x86-64 kernel, IPv4 therefore sees\noptlen = 40 and rr = 40.\n\nBoth tcp_v4_save_options() and __ip_options_echo() skip option copying\nwhen optlen is zero. Here optlen is 40, so the TCP SYN path allocates\nroom for 40 bytes of option data and calls __ip_options_echo(). The\nstale rr value makes that function read inner packet byte 41 as the\nRecord Route option length. The reproducers set that sender-controlled\nbyte to 255, so __ip_options_echo() copies 255 bytes into the 40-byte\noption-data area.\n\nSeparate End.DX4 and End.DT4 reproducers on the unpatched v7.2-rc5\nkernel both produced:\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in __ip_options_echo()\n Write of size 255\n\nThe relevant End.DX4 call path is:\n\n __ip_options_echo\n tcp_v4_route_req\n tcp_conn_request\n tcp_v4_conn_request\n tcp_rcv_state_process\n tcp_v4_do_rcv\n tcp_v4_rcv\n ip_protocol_deliver_rcu\n ip_local_deliver_finish\n ip_local_deliver\n input_action_end_dx4_finish\n input_action_end_dx4\n\nThe relevant End.DT4 call path is:\n\n __ip_options_echo\n tcp_v4_route_req\n tcp_conn_request\n tcp_v4_conn_request\n tcp_rcv_state_process\n tcp_v4_do_rcv\n tcp_v4_rcv\n ip_protocol_deliver_rcu\n ip_local_deliver_finish\n ip_local_deliver\n input_action_end_dt4\n\ntcp_v4_save_options() is inlined into the tcp_v4_route_req() path, so\nit does not appear as a separate frame.\n\nWhen decap_and_validate() handles IPPROTO_IPIP, save the ingress\ninterface from IP6CB, clear IPCB, and restore the saved value. Doing\nthis in the common decapsulation path covers End.DX4, End.DT4, and\nEnd.DT46's IPv4 arm.\n\nUse IP6CB(skb)->iif rather than skb->skb_iif. These actions run after\nl3mdev processing, which can replace skb_iif with the L3 master;\nIP6CB iif still records the receiving interface set at IPv6 ingress." } ], "affected": [ { "product":
