Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: nsh: Use correct mac_offset to unwind gso skb in nsh_gso_segment()
As the call trace shows, skb_panic was caused by wrong skb->mac_header
in nsh_gso_segment():
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
CPU: 3 PID: 2737 Comm: syz Not tainted 6.3.0-next-20230505 #1
RIP: 0010:skb_panic+0xda/0xe0
call Trace:

nsh_gso_segment+0x4f3/0x570
skb_mac_gso_segment+0x19e/0x270

packet_sendmsg+0x7b/0xa0
sock_sendmsg+0x14f/0x160
The root cause is:
nsh_gso_segment() use skb->network_header - nhoff to reset mac_header
in skb_gso_error_unwind() if inner-layer protocol gso fails.
However, skb->network_header may be reset by inner-layer protocol
gso function e.g. mpls_gso_segment. skb->mac_header reset by the
inaccurate network_header will be larger than skb headroom.
nsh_gso_segment
nhoff = skb->network_header - skb->mac_header;
__skb_pull(skb,nsh_len)
skb_mac_gso_segment
mpls_gso_segment
skb_reset_network_header(skb);//skb->network_header+=nsh_len
return -EINVAL;
skb_gso_error_unwind
skb_push(skb, nsh_len);
skb->mac_header = skb->network_header - nhoff;
// skb->mac_header > skb->headroom, cause skb_push panic
Use correct mac_offset to restore mac_header and get rid of nhoff.
