Описание

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

ipv6: rpl: fix hdrlen overflow in ipv6_rpl_srh_decompress()

ipv6_rpl_srh_decompress() computes:

outhdr->hdrlen = (((n + 1) * sizeof(struct in6_addr)) >> 3);

hdrlen is __u8. For n >= 127 the result exceeds 255 and silently truncates. With n=127 (cmpri=15, cmpre=15, pad=0, hdrlen=16):

(128 * 16) >> 3 = 256, truncated to 0 as __u8

The caller in ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv() then places the compressed header at buf + ((ohdr->hdrlen + 1) << 3). With hdrlen=0 this is buf + 8, but the decompressed region occupies buf[0..2055] (8-byte header plus 128 full addresses). The compressed header overlaps the decompressed data, and ipv6_rpl_srh_compress() writes into this overlap, corrupting the routing header of the forwarded packet.

The existing guard at exthdrs.c:546 checks (n + 1) > 255, which prevents n+1 from overflowing unsigned char (the segments_left field), but does not prevent the computed hdrlen from overflowing __u8.
