CVE-2024-26857: geneve: make sure to pull inner header in geneve_rx()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
geneve: make sure to pull inner header in geneverx()
syzbot triggered a bug in geneverx() [1]
Issue is similar to the one I fixed in commit 8d975c15c0cd ("ip6tunnel: make sure to pull inner header in ip6tnlrcv()")
We have to save skb->networkheader in a temporary variable in order to be able to recompute the networkheader pointer after a pskbinetmaypull() call.
pskbinetmaypull() makes sure the needed headers are in skb->head.
