[PATCH] ipv4: tcp_input: fix stack out of bounds when parsing TCP options.

From: Young Xiao
Date: Wed May 29 2019 - 04:13:19 EST


The TCP option parsing routines in tcp_parse_options function could
read one byte out of the buffer of the TCP options.

1 while (length > 0) {
2 int opcode = *ptr++;
3 int opsize;
4
5 switch (opcode) {
6 case TCPOPT_EOL:
7 return;
8 case TCPOPT_NOP: /* Ref: RFC 793 section 3.1 */
9 length--;
10 continue;
11 default:
12 opsize = *ptr++; //out of bound access

If length = 1, then there is an access in line2.
And another access is occurred in line 12.
This would lead to out-of-bound access.

Therefore, in the patch we check that the available data length is
larger enough to pase both TCP option code and size.
