net: openvswitch: validate transport header presence in set_ipv6_addr
When executing IPv6 address rewrite actions on IPv6 fragments, set_ipv6_addr() calls update_ipv6_checksum(). If parse_ipv6hdr() processes a non-first IPv6 fragment, it sets key->ip.proto to NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT and returns early without calling skb_set_transport_header(). update_ipv6_checksum() unconditionally evaluates skb_transport_offset() on entry before checking l4_proto. Because skb->transport_header is uninitialized, this triggers a warning under CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=y although it is completely harmless. Fix this by returning early in update_ipv6_checksum() if l4_proto is NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT. This avoids reading the uninitialized transport offset for fragments while preserving the debug warning for any other protocol where the transport header is unexpectedly missing. See the syzbot trace: !skb_transport_header_was_set(skb) WARNING: ./include/linux/skbuff.h:3075 at skb_transport_header include/linux/skbuff.h:3075 [inline], CPU#1: syz-executor463/5635 WARNING: ./include/linux/skbuff.h:3075 at skb_transport_offset include/linux/skbuff.h:3250 [inline], CPU#1: syz-executor463/5635 WARNING: ./include/linux/skbuff.h:3075 at update_ipv6_checksum net/openvswitch/actions.c:361 [inline], CPU#1: syz-executor463/5635 WARNING: ./include/linux/skbuff.h:3075 at set_ipv6_addr+0x462/0x660 net/openvswitch/actions.c:399, CPU#1: syz-executor463/5635 [...] RIP: 0010:skb_transport_header include/linux/skbuff.h:3075 [inline] RIP: 0010:skb_transport_offset include/linux/skbuff.h:3250 [inline] RIP: 0010:update_ipv6_checksum net/openvswitch/actions.c:361 [inline] RIP: 0010:set_ipv6_addr+0x462/0x660 net/openvswitch/actions.c:399 [...] Call Trace: <TASK> set_ipv6 net/openvswitch/actions.c:531 [inline] do_execute_actions+0x557e/0x8600 net/openvswitch/actions.c:1366 ovs_execute_actions+0xde/0x520 net/openvswitch/actions.c:1592 ovs_packet_cmd_execute+0xb4f/0xf10 net/openvswitch/datapath.c:705 genl_family_rcv_msg_doit+0x233/0x340 net/netlink/genetlink.c:1114 genl_rcv_msg+0x614/0x7a0 net/netlink/genetlink.c:1209 netlink_rcv_skb+0x226/0x4a0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2572 genl_rcv+0x28/0x40 net/netlink/genetlink.c:1218 netlink_unicast+0x7bd/0x940 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1361 netlink_sendmsg+0x813/0xb40 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1916 sock_sendmsg_nosec+0x14e/0x190 net/socket.c:800 Reported-by: syzbot+4cc63fcfb3845e149969@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=4cc63fcfb3845e149969 Fixes: 3fdbd1ce11e5 ("openvswitch: add ipv6 'set' action") Signed-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@ovn.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20261008104135.4722-1-fmancera@suse.de Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
