ipv4: tcp_input: fix stack out of bounds when parsing TCP options.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
