This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: qdisc_pkt_len_init() should be more robust 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: net-qdisc_pkt_len_init-should-be-more-robust.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 Mon Jan 29 10:14:57 CET 2018 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 19:59:19 -0800 Subject: net: qdisc_pkt_len_init() should be more robust From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7c68d1a6b4db9012790af7ac0f0fdc0d2083422a ] Without proper validation of DODGY packets, we might very well feed qdisc_pkt_len_init() with invalid GSO packets. tcp_hdrlen() might access out-of-bound data, so let's use skb_header_pointer() and proper checks. Whole story is described in commit d0c081b49137 ("flow_dissector: properly cap thoff field") We have the goal of validating DODGY packets earlier in the stack, so we might very well revert this fix in the future.
