This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ip_gre: validate csum_start only on pull to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ip_gre-validate-csum_start-only-on-pull.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ff3a77fbefda6af5f93ac446665be60a8d68fd2c Author: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Sep 5 11:21:09 2021 -0400 ip_gre: validate csum_start only on pull [ Upstream commit 8a0ed250f911da31a2aef52101bc707846a800ff ] The GRE tunnel device can pull existing outer headers in ipge_xmit. This is a rare path, apparently unique to this device. The below commit ensured that pulling does not move skb->data beyond csum_start. But it has a false positive if ip_summed is not CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and thus csum_start is irrelevant. Refine to exclude this. At the same time simplify and strengthen the test. Simplify, by moving the check next to the offending pull, making it more self documenting and removing an unnecessary branch from other code paths. Strengthen, by also ensuring that the transport header is correct and therefore the inner headers will be after skb_reset_inner_headers. The transport header is set to csum_start in skb_partial_csum_set.
