Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tunnels: fix kasan splat when generating ipv4 pmtu error
If we try to emit an icmp error in response to a nonliner skb, we get
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ip_compute_csum+0x134/0x220
Read of size 4 at addr ffff88811c50db00 by task iperf3/1691
CPU: 2 PID: 1691 Comm: iperf3 Not tainted 6.5.0-rc3+ #309
[..]
kasan_report+0x105/0x140
ip_compute_csum+0x134/0x220
iptunnel_pmtud_build_icmp+0x554/0x1020
skb_tunnel_check_pmtu+0x513/0xb80
vxlan_xmit_one+0x139e/0x2ef0
vxlan_xmit+0x1867/0x2760
dev_hard_start_xmit+0x1ee/0x4f0
br_dev_queue_push_xmit+0x4d1/0x660
[..]
ip_compute_csum() cannot deal with nonlinear skbs, so avoid it.
After this change, splat is gone and iperf3 is no longer stuck.
