Aug 12 RESCORED — CVE-2024-26882 (Linux). CVSS 7.3 → 7.8 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ip_tunnel: make sure to pull inner header in ip_tunnel_rcv()
Apply the same fix than ones found in :
8d975c15c0cd ("ip6_tunnel: make sure to pull inner header in __ip6_tnl_rcv()")
1ca1ba465e55 ("geneve: make sure to pull inner header in geneve_rx()")
We have to save skb->network_header in a temporary variable
in order to be able to recompute the network_header pointer
after a pskb_inet_may_pull() call.
pskb_inet_may_pull() makes sure the needed headers are in skb->head.
