[PATCH net RESEND 2/2] ipv6: protect mtu calculation of wrap-around and infinite loop by rounding issues

From: Hannes Frederic Sowa
Date: Fri Oct 16 2015 - 05:33:28 EST


Raw sockets with hdrincl enabled can insert ipv6 extension headers
right into the data stream. In case we need to fragment those packets,
we reparse the options header to find the place where we can insert
the fragment header. If the extension headers exceed the link's MTU we
actually cannot make progress in such a case.

Instead of ending up in broken arithmetic or rounding towards 0 and
entering an endless loop in ip6_fragment, just prevent those cases by
aborting early and signal -EMSGSIZE to user space.
