Subject: [PATCH net] cipso: adjust cached option offsets when removing CIPSO
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 23:04:00 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930140400.2955466-1-4ncienth@gmail.com> (raw)
cipso_v4_skbuff_delattr() shifts every IPv4 option after CIPSO left by
cipso_len, but leaves the cached srr, rr, ts and router_alert offsets at
their old locations.
With a valid eight-byte CIPSO option followed by a seven-byte RR option,
RR moves from offset 28 to 20 while opt->rr remains 28. The stale offset
then points into packet payload, letting the sender control both the
length and bytes copied by __ip_options_echo(). Setting the length to
255 produced this condensed KASAN result:
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in __ip_options_echo
Write of size 255
Call Trace:
__ip_options_echo
run_cipso_stale_offset [net_candidate_probe]
The destination holds 40 bytes of option data. In an existing
uninstrumented x86-64 v7.2 build, __icmp_send() places that buffer
immediately before its stack canary, and the 255-byte copy also crosses
the saved return address. A canary mismatch unconditionally panics;
no canary disclosure or control-flow exploit was demonstrated.
Mirror cipso_v4_delopt() and subtract cipso_len from each cached offset
that follows CIPSO. cipso_len is the logical distance moved by the first
memmove(); hdr_len_delta includes padding, while the later header move and
network-header reset relocate the bytes and their base together.
The adjusted input leaves rr at 20 with length 7 and completes without a
sanitizer report. Natural remote reachability requires a configured
SELinux/NetLabel gateway and a later option consumer; the retained test
invokes the real mutation and echo consumer directly because the available
rootfs has no SELinux policy or netlabelctl.
