El problema permanece latente hasta que qdisc lee el transport header a partir del commit 7fb4c1967011 ("net: pull headers in qdisc_pkt_len_segs_init()"). El fallo requiere que se cumplan cuatro condiciones a la vez:
1. El paquete entrante está encapsulado y contiene metadatos GSO. El desplazamiento del transport header externo se almacena en skb->transport_header mientras el paquete aún se encuentra en el contexto del túnel externo. 2. El receptor del túnel elimina las cabeceras externas. skb->data avanza hasta la trama interna, pero skb->transport_header se queda apuntando a la cabecera L4 externa ya eliminada, por lo que pasa a ser un desplazamiento negativo respecto a los nuevos datos. 3. La trama interna no se entrega a la pila IP local. En su lugar, se reenvía en L2 mediante un puente o HSR, por lo que ip_rcv_core() nunca se ejecuta y el transport header no se restablece al desplazamiento L4 interno. 4. La ruta de reenvío llama a __dev_queue_xmit(), que entra en qdisc_pkt_len_segs_init(). Esta función calcula la longitud de la cabecera GSO a partir de skb_transport_offset(skb). Como el desplazamiento es negativo, el cast sin signo desborda y pskb_may_pull(skb, hdr_len + sizeof(struct tcphdr)) lee más allá del final del skb, provocando un fallo de KASAN o un page fault.
El problema afecta específicamente a los paquetes GSO (shinfo->gso_size != 0), que se procesan/agregan mediante gro_cells. Para solucionarlo, se pone transport_header al valor centinela ~0U en gro_cell para todos los controladores de túnel. GTP no admite GRO/GSO, así que los paquetes GSO maliciosos se descartan directamente en GTP.

Fix this by clearing\ntransport_header to the ~0U sentinel in gro_cell for all tunnnel driver.\nGTP does not support GRO/GSO, drop the evil GSO packets in GTP directly."
