Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/core: Fix ETH_P_1588 flow dissector
When a PTP ethernet raw frame with a size of more than 256 bytes followed
by a 0xff pattern is sent to __skb_flow_dissect, nhoff value calculation
is wrong. For example: hdr->message_length takes the wrong value (0xffff)
and it does not replicate real header length. In this case, 'nhoff' value
was overridden and the PTP header was badly dissected. This leads to a
kernel crash.
net/core: flow_dissector
net/core flow dissector nhoff = 0x0000000e
net/core flow dissector hdr->message_length = 0x0000ffff
net/core flow dissector nhoff = 0x0001000d (u16 overflow)
...
skb linear: 00000000: 00 a0 c9 00 00 00 00 a0 c9 00 00 00 88
skb frag: 00000000: f7 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Using the size of the ptp_header struct will allow the corrected
calculation of the nhoff value.
net/core flow dissector nhoff = 0x0000000e
net/core flow dissector nhoff = 0x00000030 (sizeof ptp_header)
...
skb linear: 00000000: 00 a0 c9 00 00 00 00 a0 c9 00 00 00 88 f7 ff ff
