What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: sch_frag: fix stack OOB read while fragmenting IPv4 packets

when 'act_mirred' tries to fragment IPv4 packets that had been previously

re-assembled using 'act_ct', splats like the following can be observed on

kernels built with KASAN:

for IPv4 packets, sch_fragment() uses a temporary struct dst_entry. Then,

in the following call graph:

ip_do_fragment()

ip_skb_dst_mtu()

ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward()

ip_mtu_locked()

the pointer to struct dst_entry is used as pointer to struct rtable: this

turns the access to struct members like rt_mtu_locked into an OOB read in

the stack. Fix this changing the temporary variable used for IPv4 packets

in sch_fragment(), similarly to what is done for IPv6 few lines below.
