Subject: CVE-2024-26804: net: ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth
syzkaller triggered following kasan splat:

The splat occurs because skb->data points past skb->head allocated area.
This is because neigh layer does:
__skb_pull(skb, skb_network_offset(skb));
.. but skb_network_offset() returns a negative offset and __skb_pull()
arg is unsigned. IOW, we skb->data gets "adjusted" by a huge value.
The negative value is returned because skb->head and skb->data distance is
more than 64k and skb->network_header (u16) has wrapped around.
The bug is in the ip_tunnel infrastructure, which can cause
dev->needed_headroom to increment ad infinitum.
The syzkaller reproducer consists of packets getting routed via a gre
tunnel, and route of gre encapsulated packets pointing at another (ipip)
tunnel. The ipip encapsulation finds gre0 as next output device.
This results in the following pattern:
1). First packet is to be sent out via gre0.
Route lookup found an output device, ipip0.
2).
ip_tunnel_xmit for gre0 bumps gre0->needed_headroom based on the future
output device, rt.dev->needed_headroom (ipip0).
3).
ip output / start_xmit moves skb on to ipip0. which runs the same
code path again (xmit recursion).
4).
Routing step for the post-gre0-encap packet finds gre0 as output device
to use for ipip0 encapsulated packet.
tunl0->needed_headroom is then incremented based on the (already bumped)
gre0 device headroom.
This repeats for every future packet:
gre0->needed_headroom gets inflated because previous packets' ipip0 step
incremented rt->dev (gre0) headroom, and ipip0 incremented because gre0
needed_headroom was increased.
For each subsequent packet, gre/ipip0->needed_headroom grows until
post-expand-head reallocations result in a skb->head/data distance of
more than 64k.
Once that happens, skb->network_header (u16) wraps around when
pskb_expand_head tries to make sure that skb_network_offset() is unchanged
after the headroom expansion/reallocation.
After this skb_network_offset(skb) returns a different (and negative)
result post headroom expansion.
The next trip to neigh layer (or anything else that would __skb_pull the
network header) makes skb->data point to a memory location outside
skb->head area.
v2: Cap the needed_headroom update to an arbitarily chosen upperlimit to
prevent perpetual increase instead of dropping the headroom increment
completely.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-26804 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
