If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Feb 23 21:12:57 CET 2017 From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2017 09:33:18 +0100 Subject: ip: fix IP_CHECKSUM handling From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ca4ef4574f1ee5252e2cd365f8f5d5bafd048f32 ] The skbs processed by ip_cmsg_recv() are not guaranteed to be linear e.g. when sending UDP packets over loopback with MSGMORE. Using csum_partial() on [potentially] the whole skb len is dangerous; instead be on the safe side and use skb_checksum(). Thanks to syzkaller team to detect the issue and provide the reproducer. v1 -> v2: - move the variable declaration in a tighter scope Fixes: ad6f939ab193 ("ip: Add offset parameter to ip_cmsg_recv") Reported-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
