net: ip_expire() must revalidate route
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit 4a94445 (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path)
added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, in case timeout is fired.

When a frame is defragmented, we use last skb dst field when building
final skb. Its dst is valid, since we are in rcu read section.

But if a timeout occurs, we take first queued fragment to build one ICMP
TIME EXCEEDED message. Problem is all queued skb have weak dst pointers,
since we escaped RCU critical section after their queueing. icmp_send()
might dereference a now freed (and possibly reused) part of memory.

Calling skb_dst_drop() and ip_route_input_noref() to revalidate route is
the only possible choice.
