[PATCH 3.18 010/120] ipv6: fix possible use-after-free in ip6_xmit()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 11 2018 - 11:36:02 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit bbd6528d28c1b8e80832b3b018ec402b6f5c3215 ]

In the unlikely case ip6_xmit() has to call skb_realloc_headroom(),
we need to call skb_set_owner_w() before consuming original skb,
otherwise we risk a use-after-free.

Bring IPv6 in line with what we do in IPv4 to fix this.
