[PATCH net-next-2.6] net/ipv4: push IP options to CB in ip_fragment

From: Bandan Das
Date: Mon Aug 30 2010 - 16:37:58 EST


The bridge layer can overwrite the IPCB using the
BR_INPUT_SKB_CB macro. In br_nf_dev_queue_xmit,
if we recieve a packet greater in size than the bridge
device MTU, we call ip_fragment which in turn will lead to
icmp_send calling ip_options_echo if the DF flag is set.
ip_options_echo will then incorrectly try to parse the IPCB as
IP options resulting in a buffer overflow.
This change refills the CB area back with IP
options before ip_fragment calls icmp_send. If we fail parsing,
we zero out the IPCB area to guarantee that the stack does
not get corrupted.

Test setup that can exhibit this behavior:
<Remote Machine>--<Host Machine>--<Bridge>--<Tun/Tap>--<KVM Guest>
1500 mtu 576 mtu 576 mtu 576 mtu 1500 mtu

Example of crash :
Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffff8146dff3
Pid: 3173, comm: qemu-kvm Not tainted 2.6.32-63.el6.x86_64 #1
Call Trace:
Message from <IRQ> syslogd@kvm at [<ffffffff814c8285>] panic+0x78/0x137
Aug 30 14:09:50 [<ffffffff8146dff3>] ? icmp_send+0x743/0x780
