UBUNTU: SAUCE: net: add recursion limit to GRO
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631287 Currently, GRO can do unlimited recursion through the gro_receive handlers. This was fixed for tunneling protocols by limiting tunnel GRO to one level with encap_mark, but both VLAN and TEB still have this problem. Thus, the kernel is vulnerable to a stack overflow, if we receive a packet composed entirely of VLAN headers. This patch adds a recursion counter to the GRO layer to prevent stack overflow. When a gro_receive function hits the recursion limit, GRO is aborted for this skb and it is processed normally. Fixes: 9b174d88 ("net: Add Transparent Ethernet Bridging GRO support.") Fixes: 66e5133f ("vlan: Add GRO support for non hardware accelerated vlan") Signed-off-by: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@queasysnail.net> Reviewed-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@redhat.com> Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: Steve Beattie <steve.beattie@canonical.com> [ saf: backported to xenial - Fix up gro_receive callback invocation in udb_gro_receive() - Adjust context ] CVE-2016-7039 Acked-by: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com>
