neighbour: Avoid writing before skb->head in neigh_hh_output() While skb_push() makes the kernel panic if the skb headroom is less than the unaligned hardware header size, it will proceed normally in case we copy more than that because of alignment, and we'll silently corrupt adjacent slabs. In the case fixed by the previous patch, "ipv6: Check available headroom in ip6_xmit() even without options", we end up in neigh_hh_output() with 14 bytes headroom, 14 bytes hardware header and write 16 bytes, starting 2 bytes before the allocated buffer. Always check we're not writing before skb->head and, if the headroom is not enough, warn and drop the packet. v2: - instead of panicking with BUG_ON(), WARN_ON_ONCE() and drop the packet (Eric Dumazet) - if we avoid the panic, though, we need to explicitly check the headroom before the memcpy(), otherwise we'll have corrupted slabs on a running kernel, after we warn - use __skb_push() instead of skb_push(), as the headroom check is already implemented here explicitly (Eric Dumazet) Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
