A gateway's encap socket passes ICMP errors to amt_err_lookup(), which
calls amt_parse_type() on the quoted datagram to see which AMT message
failed. On that path skb->data points at the quoted IP header and the
transport header at the quoted UDP header, and icmp_socket_deliver()
only guarantees the quoted IP header plus 8 bytes, that is, up to the
end of the UDP header.

amt_parse_type() pulls sizeof(struct udphdr) + sizeof(struct amt_header)
bytes from skb->data, which on this path stays inside the quoted IP
header, and then reads the AMT header behind udp_hdr(skb). An ICMP error
that quotes only the IP and UDP headers of a Request, the minimum RFC 792
asks for, therefore makes it read past the pulled data, and past the end
of the packet when nothing follows.

Pull up to the transport header plus the UDP and AMT headers, as
vxlan_err_lookup() does. amt_rcv() is called with the transport header
at skb->data, so the pull on the receive path does not change.

Hi!

This is an automated message. This series looks like a fix, but its
commit messages seem to be missing some information:

 - How the issue was discovered, e.g. hit in production, hit during
   development, syzbot report, manual code inspection, LLM or static
   analysis tool scan.

 - Whether the issue was actually triggered, or is only theoretical
   (e.g. found by code inspection). If it was triggered please include
   the symptoms, like the stack trace or error messages.

Please do not repost the series just to address the above. Instead,
reply to this email with the missing information, so that reviewers
can take it into account. If the series needs another revision for
other reasons, please include the information in the commit messages
then.

The evaluation is done by an LLM so it may be wrong, if you think
that is the case please reply and explain.
