commit924a9bc362upstream. For gso packets, virtio_net_hdr_set_proto sets the protocol (if it isn't set) based on the type in the virtio net hdr, but the skb could contain anything since it could come from packet_snd through a raw socket. If there is a mismatch between what virtio_net_hdr_set_proto sets and the actual protocol, then the skb could be handled incorrectly later on. An example where this poses an issue is with the subsequent call to skb_flow_dissect_flow_keys_basic which relies on skb->protocol being set correctly. A specially crafted packet could fool skb_flow_dissect_flow_keys_basic preventing EINVAL to be returned. Avoid blindly trusting the information provided by the virtio net header by checking that the protocol in the packet actually matches the protocol set by virtio_net_hdr_set_proto. Note that since the protocol is only checked if skb->dev implements header_ops->parse_protocol, packets from devices without the implementation are not checked at this stage.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
