Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Check skb->transport_header is set in bpf_skb_check_mtu
The bpf_skb_check_mtu helper needs to use skb->transport_header when
the BPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS flag is used:
bpf_skb_check_mtu(skb, ifindex, &mtu_len, 0, BPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS)
The transport_header is not always set. There is a WARN_ON_ONCE
report when CONFIG_DEBUG_NET is enabled + skb->gso_size is set +
bpf_prog_test_run is used:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2216 at ./include/linux/skbuff.h:3071
skb_gso_validate_network_len
bpf_skb_check_mtu
bpf_prog_3920e25740a41171_tc_chk_segs_flag # A test in the next patch
bpf_test_run
bpf_prog_test_run_skb
For a normal ingress skb (not test_run), skb_reset_transport_header
is performed but there is plan to avoid setting it as described in
commit 2170a1f09148 ("net: no longer reset transport_header in __netif_receive_skb_core()").
This patch fixes the bpf helper by checking
skb_transport_header_was_set(). The check is done just before
skb->transport_header is used, to avoid breaking the existing bpf prog.
The WARN_ON_ONCE is limited to bpf_prog_test_run, so targeting bpf-next.
