Subject: CVE-2024-43897: net: drop bad gso csum_start and offset in virtio_net_hdr

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: drop bad gso csum_start and offset in virtio_net_hdr

Tighten csum_start and csum_offset checks in virtio_net_hdr_to_skb
for GSO packets.

The function already checks that a checksum requested with
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM is in skb linear. But for GSO packets
this might not hold for segs after segmentation.

Syzkaller demonstrated to reach this warning in skb_checksum_help

	offset = skb_checksum_start_offset(skb);
	ret = -EINVAL;
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(offset >= skb_headlen(skb)))

By injecting a TSO packet:

The geometry of the bad input packet at tcp_gso_segment:

[   52.003050][ T8403] skb len=12202 headroom=244 headlen=12093 tailroom=0
[   52.003050][ T8403] mac=(168,24) mac_len=24 net=(192,52) trans=244
[   52.003050][ T8403] shinfo(txflags=0 nr_frags=1 gso(size=1552 type=3 segs=0))
[   52.003050][ T8403] csum(0x60000c7 start=199 offset=1536
ip_summed=3 complete_sw=0 valid=0 level=0)

Mitigate with stricter input validation.

csum_offset: for GSO packets, deduce the correct value from gso_type.
This is already done for USO. Extend it to TSO. Let UFO be:
udp[46]_ufo_fragment ignores these fields and always computes the
checksum in software.

csum_start: finding the real offset requires parsing to the transport
header. Do not add a parser, use existing segmentation parsing. Thanks
to SKB_GSO_DODGY, that also catches bad packets that are hw offloaded.
Again test both TSO and USO. Do not test UFO for the above reason, and
do not test UDP tunnel offload.

GSO packet are almost always CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. USO packets may be
CHECKSUM_NONE since commit 10154dbded6d6 ("udp: Allow GSO transmit
from devices with no checksum offload"), but then still these fields
are initialized correctly in udp4_hwcsum/udp6_hwcsum_outgoing. So no
need to test for ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL first.

This revises an existing fix mentioned in the Fixes tag, which broke
small packets with GSO offload, as detected by kselftests.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-43897 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
