In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: skbuff: add overflow debug check to pull/push helpers syzbot managed to trigger following splat: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __skb_flow_dissect+0x4a3b/0x5e50 Read of size 1 at addr ffff888208a4000e by task a.out/2313 [..] __skb_flow_dissect+0x4a3b/0x5e50 __skb_get_hash+0xb4/0x400 ip_tunnel_xmit+0x77e/0x26f0 ipip_tunnel_xmit+0x298/0x410 .. Analysis shows that the skb has a valid ->head, but bogus ->data pointer. skb->data gets its bogus value via the neigh layer, which does: 1556 __skb_pull(skb, skb_network_offset(skb)); ... and the skb was already dodgy at this point: skb_network_offset(skb) returns a negative value due to an earlier overflow of skb->network_header (u16). __skb_pull thus "adjusts" skb->data by a huge offset, pointing outside skb->head area. Allow debug builds to splat when we try to pull/push more than INT_MAX bytes. After this, the syzkaller reproducer yields a more precise splat before the flow dissector attempts to read off skb->data memory: WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 2313 at include/linux/skbuff.h:2653 neigh_connected_output+0x28e/0x400 ip_finish_output2+0xb25/0xed0 iptunnel_xmit+0x4ff/0x870 ipgre_xmit+0x78e/0xbb0
