Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/ip6_tunnel: Prevent perpetual tunnel growth Similarly to ipv4 tunnel, ipv6 version updates dev->needed_headroom, too. While ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment growth was limited in commit 5ae1e9922bbd ("net: ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth"), ipv6 tunnel yet increases the headroom without any ceiling. Reflect ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment limit on ipv6 version. Credits to Francesco Ruggeri, who was originally debugging this issue and wrote local Arista-specific patch and a reproducer.

Отчет

This patch fixes an issue where IPv6 tunnels could grow dev->needed_headroom without bounds, eventually causing out-of-range headroom expansions and corruption of skb metadata. A local user with the ability to create or configure IPv6 tunnels (CAP_NET_ADMIN) could trigger oversized allocations leading to kernel panic or memory corruption. For the CVSS the Privilege requirement is PR:H because only privileged networking operations (tunnel creation / management) can influence headroom calculations, and unprivileged users cannot trigger this behavior directly.
