The splat occurs because skb->data points past skb->head allocated area.
This is because neigh layer does:
__skb_pull(skb, skb_network_offset(skb));
… but skb_network_offset() returns a negative offset and __skb_pull()
arg is unsigned. IOW, we skb->data gets “adjusted” by a huge value.
The negative value is returned because skb->head and skb->data distance is
more than 64k and skb->network_header (u16) has wrapped around.
The bug is in the ip_tunnel infrastructure, which can cause
dev->needed_headroom to increment ad infinitum.
The syzkaller reproducer consists of packets getting routed via a gre
tunnel, and route of gre encapsulated packets pointing at another (ipip)
tunnel. The ipip encapsulation finds gre0 as next output device.
This results in the following pattern:
1). First packet is to be sent out via gre0.
Route lookup found an output device, ipip0.
2).
ip_tunnel_xmit for gre0 bumps gre0->needed_headroom based on the future
output device, rt.dev->needed_headroom (ipip0).
3).
ip output / start_xmit moves skb on to ipip0. which runs the same
code path again (xmit recursion).
4).
Routing step for the post-gre0-encap packet finds gre0 as output device
to use for ipip0 encapsulated packet.
tunl0->needed_headroom is then incremented based on the (already bumped)
gre0 device headroom.
This repeats for every future packet:
gre0->needed_headroom gets inflated because previous packets’ ipip0 step
incremented rt->dev (gre0) headroom, and ipip0 incremented because gre0
needed_headroom was increased.
For each subsequent packet, gre/ipip0->needed_headroom grows until
post-expand-head reallocations result in a skb->head/data distance of
more than 64k.
Once that happens, skb->network_header (u16) wraps around when
pskb_expand_head tries to make sure that skb_network_offset() is unchanged
after the headroom expansion/reallocation.
After this skb_network_offset(skb) returns a different (and negative)
result post headroom expansion.
The next trip to neigh layer (or anything else that would __skb_pull the
network header) makes skb->data point to a memory location outside
skb->head area.
v2: Cap the needed_headroom update to an arbitarily chosen upperlimit to
prevent perpetual increase instead of dropping the headroom increment
completely.
