bpf_lwt_push_ip_encap() prepends an encapsulation header and calls
skb_reset_network_header(), but leaves the IP control block describing the
inner header. Its offsets are relative to the network header, so they now
point into the encapsulated packet.
On an ingress lwt-bpf encap route a forwarded packet carrying a Record
Route option then reaches __ip_options_echo() with a stale opt->rr. It
takes the option length from the packet and copies up to 255 bytes into the
fixed-size option storage on the __icmp_send() stack. ip_forward_options()
writes at a packet-controlled offset for the same reason.
Clear the stale state once the outer header is in place, as the tunnel
encapsulators do and as seg6_local.c was taught to do in commit
f967455fb2a5 ("seg6: reset IP6CB after IPv6 decapsulation") and commit
44930446dde4 ("ipv6: seg6: clear IPv4 control block on IPIP
decapsulation").
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in __ip_options_echo (net/ipv4/ip_options.c:96)
Write of size 255 at addr ffff8880bee08930 by task exploit/150
