Linux Kernel net unbounded recursion in the vlan GRO processing
Posted on 30 November -0001
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Linux Kernel net unbounded recursion in the vlan GRO processing</TITLE><META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></HEAD><BODY>Linux kernel built with the 802.1Q/802.1ad VLAN(CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q) OR Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network(CONFIG_VXLAN) with Transparent Ethernet Bridging(TEB) GRO support, is vulnerable to a stack overflow issue. It could occur while receiving large packets via GRO path; As an unlimited recursion could unfold in both VLAN and TEB modules, leading to a stack corruption in the kernel. A remote user could use this flaw to cause kernel panic by sending malicious packets to a server that has GRO enabled. This patch adds a recursion counter to the GRO layer to prevent stack overflow. When a gro_receive function hits the recursion limit, GRO is aborted for this skb and it is processed normally. diff --git a/drivers/net/geneve.c b/drivers/net/geneve.c index 3c20e87bb761..16af1ce99233 100644 --- a/drivers/net/geneve.c +++ b/drivers/net/geneve.c @@ -453,7 +453,7 @@ static struct sk_buff **geneve_gro_receive(struct sock *sk, skb_gro_pull(skb, gh_len);
