Overview\n\nIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nip6_tunnel: clear skb2->cb[] in ip4ip6_err()\n\nOskar Kjos reported the following problem.\n\nip4ip6_err() calls icmp_send() on a cloned skb whose cb[] was written\nby the IPv6 receive path as struct inet6_skb_parm. icmp_send() passes\nIPCB(skb2) to __ip_options_echo(), which interprets that cb[] region\nas struct inet_skb_parm (IPv4). The layouts differ: inet6_skb_parm.nhoff\nat offset 14 overlaps inet_skb_parm.opt.rr, producing a non-zero rr\nvalue. __ip_options_echo() then reads optlen from attacker-controlled\npacket data at sptr[rr+1] and copies that many bytes into dopt->__data,\na fixed 40-byte stack buffer (IP_OPTIONS_DATA_FIXED_SIZE).\n\nTo fix this we clear skb2->cb[], as suggested by Oskar Kjos.\n\nAlso add minimal IPv4 header validation (version == 4, ihl >= 5).\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"midnight","depthScore":54,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":53.9,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
