What it is

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

mld: fix panic in mld_newpack()

mld_newpack() doesn't allow to allocate high order page,

only order-0 allocation is allowed.

If headroom size is too large, a kernel panic could occur in skb_put().

Test commands:

ip netns del A

ip netns del B

ip netns add A

ip netns add B

ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1

ip link set veth0 netns A

ip link set veth1 netns B

ip netns exec A ip link set lo up

ip netns exec A ip link set veth0 up

ip netns exec A ip -6 a a 2001:db8:0::1/64 dev veth0

ip netns exec B ip link set lo up

ip netns exec B ip link set veth1 up

ip netns exec B ip -6 a a 2001:db8:0::2/64 dev veth1

for i in {1..99}

do

let A=$i-1

ip netns exec A ip link add ip6gre$i type ip6gre \

local 2001:db8:$A::1 remote 2001:db8:$A::2 encaplimit 100

ip netns exec A ip -6 a a 2001:db8:$i::1/64 dev ip6gre$i

ip netns exec A ip link set ip6gre$i up

ip netns exec B ip link add ip6gre$i type ip6gre \

local 2001:db8:$A::2 remote 2001:db8:$A::1 encaplimit 100

ip netns exec B ip -6 a a 2001:db8:$i::2/64 dev ip6gre$i

ip netns exec B ip link set ip6gre$i up

done

Splat looks like:
