From 64f3b9e203bd06855072e295557dca1485a2ecba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 4 May 2011 10:02:26 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: ip_expire() must revalidate route Commit 4a94445c9a5c (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path) added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, in case timeout is fired. When a frame is defragmented, we use last skb dst field when building final skb. Its dst is valid, since we are in rcu read section. But if a timeout occurs, we take first queued fragment to build one ICMP TIME EXCEEDED message. Problem is all queued skb have weak dst pointers, since we escaped RCU critical section after their queueing. icmp_send() might dereference a now freed (and possibly reused) part of memory. Calling skb_dst_drop() and ip_route_input_noref() to revalidate route is the only possible choice. Reported-by: Denys Fedoryshchenko Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
