This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ipv6: fix out of bound writes in __ip6_append_data() to the 4.4-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: ipv6-fix-out-of-bound-writes-in-__ip6_append_data.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. 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 Fri Jun 2 09:29:55 JST 2017 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 19 May 2017 14:17:48 -0700 Subject: ipv6: fix out of bound writes in __ip6_append_data() From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 232cd35d0804cc241eb887bb8d4d9b3b9881c64a ] Andrey Konovalov and idaifish@xxxxxxxxx reported crashes caused by one skb shared_info being overwritten from __ip6_append_data() Andrey program lead to following state : copy -4200 datalen 2000 fraglen 2040 maxfraglen 2040 alloclen 2048 transhdrlen 0 offset 0 fraggap 6200 The skb_copy_and_csum_bits(skb_prev, maxfraglen, data + transhdrlen, fraggap, 0); is overwriting skb->head and skb_shared_info Since we apparently detect this rare condition too late, move the code earlier to even avoid allocating skb and risking crashes. Once again, many thanks to Andrey and syzkaller team.
