Linux ip6gre_err invalid reads

Posted on 30 November -0001

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Linux ip6gre_err() invalid reads</TITLE><META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></HEAD><BODY>Andrey Konovalov reported out of bound accesses in ip6gre_err()

If GRE flags contains GRE_KEY, the following expression
*(((__be32 *)p) + (grehlen / 4) - 1)

accesses data ~40 bytes after the expected point, since grehlen includes the size of IPv6 headers.

Let's use a "struct gre_base_hdr *greh" pointer to make this code more readable.

p[1] becomes greh->protocol.
grhlen is the GRE header length.
