Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio-net: Ensure that TCP packets don't overflow gso_segs
The user can specify any gso_size in a packet crafted with an AF_PACKET
PACKET_VNET_HDR socket, even smaller than TCP_MIN_GSO_SIZE = 8. At the
same time, GSO_MAX_SIZE = 8 * GSO_MAX_SEGS = 8 * 65535. When the user
crafts a packet with gso_size < 8, there is a risk for partial GSO to
overflow the 16-bit gso_segs field when dividing the SKB length by
gso_size.
Adjust gso_size of TCP packets to be at least TCP_MIN_GSO_SIZE = 8. Keep
gso_size of UDP GSO packets, as gso_size=1 is valid and explicitly
tested at tools/testing/selftests/net/tun.c:649.
