Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sched: act_csum: validate nested VLAN headers
tcf_csum_act() walks nested VLAN headers directly from skb->data when an
skb still carries in-payload VLAN tags. The current code reads
vlan->h_vlan_encapsulated_proto and then pulls VLAN_HLEN bytes without
first ensuring that the full VLAN header is present in the linear area.
If only part of an inner VLAN header is linearized, accessing
h_vlan_encapsulated_proto reads past the linear area, and the following
skb_pull(VLAN_HLEN) may violate skb invariants.
Fix this by requiring pskb_may_pull(skb, VLAN_HLEN) before accessing and
pulling each nested VLAN header. If the header still is not fully
available, drop the packet through the existing error path.
