TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_GENEVE packet enters fl_set_geneve_opt. This
bypasses the next bounds check and results in an out-of-bounds.

Hi Hangyu Hua,

Thanks. I think I see the problem too.
But I do wonder, is this more general than Geneve options?
That is, can this occur with any sequence of options, that
consume space in enc_opts (configured in fl_set_key()) that
in total are more than 256 bytes?


Hi Hangyu Hua,

Thank you for the patch. In addition to Simon's comment; I think the subject
headline should include net, i.e. [PATCH net]. Also could you please provide

My bad. I forgot this rule. It seems this won't be included in the final patch. Do i need to send a v2?

an example tc filter add dev... command to replicate the issue? (Just to make
it a bit easier to understand).


I use poc.c instead of commands to trigger this bug. If you want poc You
can check if there is an email named "Re: A possible LPE vulnerability in fl_set_geneve_opt" in your e-mail. I should have sent it to you and Simon while replying to security@xxxxxxxxxx.

Thanks,
Hangyu
