Added Description

                  
                
              
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: synproxy: refresh tcphdr after skb_ensure_writable

synproxy_tstamp_adjust() rewrites the TCP timestamp option in place
and then patches the TCP checksum via inet_proto_csum_replace4() on
the caller-supplied tcphdr pointer.  Both ipv4_synproxy_hook() and
ipv6_synproxy_hook() obtain that pointer with skb_header_pointer()
before calling in, so it may either alias skb->head directly or
point at the caller's on-stack _tcph buffer.

Between obtaining the pointer and using it, the function calls
skb_ensure_writable(skb, optend), which on a cloned or non-linear
skb invokes pskb_expand_head() and frees the old skb->head.  After
that point the cached th is stale:

    caller (ipv[46]_synproxy_hook)
      th = skb_header_pointer(skb, ..., &_tcph)
      synproxy_tstamp_adjust(skb, protoff, th, ...)
        skb_ensure_writable(skb, optend)
          pskb_expand_head()        /* kfree(old skb->head) */
        ...
        inet_proto_csum_replace4(&th->check, ...)
                                    /* writes into freed head, or
                                       into the caller's stack copy
                                       leaving the on-wire checksum
                                       stale */

The option bytes are written through skb->data and are fine; only
the checksum update goes through th and so lands in the wrong
place.  The result is either a write into freed slab memory or a
packet leaving with a checksum that does not match its payload.

Fix by re-deriving th from skb->data + protoff immediately after
skb_ensure_writable() succeeds, so the subsequent checksum update
targets the linear, writable header.
