CVE-2023-54094
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: prevent skb corruption on frag list segmentation
Ian reported several skb corruptions triggered by rx-gro-list, collecting different oops alike:
In the critical scenario, rx-gro-list GRO-ed packets are fed, via a bridge, both to the local input path and to an egress device (tun).
The segmentation of such packets unsafely writes to the cloned skbs with shared heads.
This change addresses the issue by uncloning as needed the to-be-segmented skbs.
