Description

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

ipvlan: Fix out-of-bound bugs caused by unset skb->mac_header

If an AF_PACKET socket is used to send packets through ipvlan and the
default xmit function of the AF_PACKET socket is changed from
dev_queue_xmit() to packet_direct_xmit() via setsockopt() with the option
name of PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, the skb->mac_header may not be reset and
remains as the initial value of 65535, this may trigger slab-out-of-bounds
bugs as following:

=================================================================
UG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2+0xdb/0x330 [ipvlan]
PU: 2 PID: 1768 Comm: raw_send Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.0.0-rc4+ #6

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd

The root cause is:

  1. packet_snd() only reset skb->mac_header when sock->type is SOCK_RAW
    and skb->protocol is not specified as in packet_parse_headers()

  2. packet_direct_xmit() doesn’t reset skb->mac_header as dev_queue_xmit()

In this case, skb->mac_header is 65535 when ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2() is
called. So when ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2() gets mac header with eth_hdr() which
use “skb->head + skb->mac_header”, out-of-bound access occurs.

This patch replaces eth_hdr() with skb_eth_hdr() in ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2()
and reset mac header in multicast to solve this out-of-bound bug.
