[PATCH net] net: mpls: clear inner_protocol when the last label is popped

From: Fourie Zhang <hidden>

Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

skb_mpls_push() records the pre-encapsulation network header once, gated
on !skb->inner_protocol. skb_mpls_pop() never clears that record, so it
outlives the encapsulation it describes.

Open vSwitch can then re-push MPLS onto a packet whose
inner_network_header still points at the older, deeper offset: push a
label, pop every label, recirculate (ovs_flow_key_update() re-derives
key->eth.type and resets network_header, but leaves inner_*), then push
again. ovs_fragment() trusts the record:

	skb->network_header = skb->inner_network_header;

so skb_network_offset() goes negative. The bound check is signed:

	if (skb_network_offset(skb) > MAX_L2_LEN)

a negative offset passes it, and prepare_frag() widens the value:

	unsigned int hlen = skb_network_offset(skb);
	memcpy(&data->l2_data, skb->data, hlen);

which is a ~4GiB memcpy out of a 30-byte per-CPU buffer.

Reproduced on v7.3-rc1. RDX is the truncated length, (unsigned int)(-8):

Same root-cause shape as commit 975b5b067f52 ("ipv6: sr: restore network
header before routing and forwarding"): a stale network header offset
reaching a consumer that widens it. Here it originates in the MPLS
push/pop path.

Clear inner_protocol once the packet is no longer MPLS, so a later push
re-records the current header. net/sched/act_mpls.c is the only other
skb_mpls_pop() caller and gets the same fix; sch_frag.c saves and
restores inner_protocol around fragmentation in the same way OVS does.
