Amazon Linux AMI 2: CVE-2022-49340: Security patch for kernel (Multiple Advisories)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ip_gre: test csum_start instead of transport header

GRE with TUNNEL_CSUM will apply local checksum offload on
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL packets.

ipgre_xmit must validate csum_start after an optional skb_pull,
else lco_csum may trigger an overflow. The original check was

if (csum && skb_checksum_start(skb) < skb->data)
return -EINVAL;

This had false positives when skb_checksum_start is undefined:
when ip_summed is not CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. A discussed refinement
was straightforward

if (csum && skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL &&
skb_checksum_start(skb) < skb->data)
return -EINVAL;

But was eventually revised more thoroughly:
- restrict the check to the only branch where needed, in an
uncommon GRE path that uses header_ops and calls skb_pull.
- test skb_transport_header, which is set along with csum_start
in skb_partial_csum_set in the normal header_ops datapath.

Turns out skbs can arrive in this branch without the transport
header set, e.g., through BPF redirection.

Revise the check back to check csum_start directly, and only if
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. Do leave the check in the updated location.
Check field regardless of whether TUNNEL_CSUM is configured.
