                    "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxfrm: iptfs: fix stack OOB read in iptfs_skb_reset_frag_walk()\n\niptfs_skb_reset_frag_walk() advances to the fragment containing @offset\nwith an unbounded loop:\n\n\twhile (offset >= walk->past + walk->frags[walk->fragi].len)\n\t\twalk->past += walk->frags[walk->fragi++].len;\n\nwalk->fragi is advanced and walk->frags[walk->fragi] is dereferenced\nwithout ever checking fragi against walk->nr_frags. When the requested\noffset is at or beyond the total length spanned by the walk's fragments,\nfragi runs past nr_frags and off the end of the fixed-size on-stack\nfrags[MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1] array, reading out-of-bounds stack memory.\n\nThe two callers behave differently: iptfs_skb_add_frags() already guards\nagainst this with\n\n\tif (!walk->nr_frags ||\n\t    offset >= walk->total + walk->initial_offset)\n\t\treturn len;\n\nbut iptfs_skb_can_add_frags() has no such guard and calls\niptfs_skb_reset_frag_walk() unconditionally, so it performs the\nout-of-range walk. Its own \"fragi < walk->nr_frags\" bound check runs only\nafterwards, too late to prevent the read.\n\nThis is reachable from the receive path: a crafted IP-TFS (AGGFRAG)\npayload delivered to an IPTFS SA drives iptfs_reassem_cont() ->\niptfs_skb_can_add_frags() with an offset past the fragment total, e.g.:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in iptfs_skb_reset_frag_walk+0x235/0x250\n  Read of size 4 at addr ffff888008ad7210 by task repro/345\n   iptfs_skb_reset_frag_walk+0x235/0x250 net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c:392\n   iptfs_skb_can_add_frags+0x155/0x310  net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c:420\n   iptfs_reassem_cont+0xcf8/0x1140      net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c:902\n   iptfs_input_ordered+0x552/0x670      net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c:1280\n   iptfs_input+0x3d6/0xde0              net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c:1741\n   xfrm_input+0x282f/0x6140             net/xfrm/xfrm_input.c:700\n   xfrm4_esp_rcv+0x93/0x120             net/ipv4/xfrm4_protocol.c:104\n   ip_rcv+0x278/0x2d0                   net/ipv4/ip_input.c:612\n\nGive iptfs_skb_can_add_frags() the same up-front guard that\niptfs_skb_add_frags() already has, so the walk is never entered with an\nout-of-range offset. When it triggers, the caller falls back to the\nexisting linearize-and-copy path, which is safe."
