Subject: [PATCH net v3 4/8] virtio_net: parse tunnel csum_start little-endian
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 08:03:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fa2c17b9871d1d858cc9e109e1bfc61b3ffdbd69.1792411304.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1792411304.git.mst@redhat.com>
<glm>
The tunnel header format is only produced by standard-compliant
devices, so all of its fields, csum_start included, are
little-endian. The nested virtio net header import already
parsed csum_start that way, but the inner transport offset was
parsed with the endianness specified by the interface.
On an interface in legacy big-endian mode the two parses of the
same field disagreed, and the value stored in
skb->inner_transport_header - which is only bounds-checked from
below - could point past the end of the packet, where GSO
segmentation later dereferences it.
</glm>
Parse the field little-endian in both places.
Fixes: a2fb4bc4e2a6 ("net: implement virtio helpers to handle UDP GSO tunneling.")
