Current handling of CHECKSUM_COMPLETE packets by the UDP stack is incorrect for any packet that has an incorrect checksum value. udp4/6_csum_init() will both make a call to __skb_checksum_validate_complete() to initialize/validate the csum field when receiving a CHECKSUM_COMPLETE packet. When this packet fails validation, skb->csum will be overwritten with the pseudoheader checksum so the packet can be fully validated by software, but the skb->ip_summed value will be left as CHECKSUM_COMPLETE so that way the stack can later warn the user about their hardware spewing bad checksums. Unfortunately, leaving the SKB in this state can cause problems later on in the checksum calculation. Since the the packet is still marked as CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, udp_csum_pull_header() will SUBTRACT the checksum of the UDP header from skb->csum instead of adding it, leaving us with a garbage value in that field. Once we try to copy the packet to userspace in the udp4/6_recvmsg(), we'll make a call to skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_msg() to checksum the packet data and add it in the garbage skb->csum value to perform our final validation check. Since the value we're validating is not the proper checksum, it's possible that the folded value could come out to 0, causing us not to drop the packet. Instead, we believe that the packet was checksummed incorrectly by hardware since skb->ip_summed is still CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, and we attempt to warn the user with netdev_rx_csum_fault(skb->dev); Unfortunately, since this is the UDP path, skb->dev has been overwritten by skb->dev_scratch and is no longer a valid pointer, so we end up reading invalid memory. This patch addresses this problem in two ways: 1) Do not use the dev pointer when calling netdev_rx_csum_fault() from skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_msg(). Since this gets called from the UDP path where skb->dev has been overwritten, we have no way of knowing if the pointer is still valid. Also for the sake of consistency with the other uses of netdev_rx_csum_fault(), don't attempt to call it if the packet was checksummed by software. 2) Add better CHECKSUM_COMPLETE handling to udp4/6_csum_init(). If we receive a packet that's CHECKSUM_COMPLETE that fails verification (i.e. skb->csum_valid == 0), check who performed the calculation. It's possible that the checksum was done in software by the network stack earlier (such as Netfilter's CONNTRACK module), and if that says the checksum is bad, we can drop the packet immediately instead of waiting until we try and copy it to userspace. Otherwise, we need to mark the SKB as CHECKSUM_NONE, since the skb->csum field no longer contains the full packet checksum after the call to __skb_checksum_validate_complete(). Fixes: |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
