Daniel Borkmann 2cbb259ec4 bpf: Reject negative head_room in __bpf_skb_change_head
Yinhao et al. recently reported:

  Our fuzzing tool was able to create a BPF program which triggered
  the below BUG condition inside pskb_expand_head.

  [   23.016047][T10006] kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:2232!

The problem is that in __bpf_skb_change_head() we need to reject a
negative head_room as otherwise this propagates all the way to the
pskb_expand_head() from skb_cow(). For example, if the BPF test infra
passes a skb with gso_skb:1 to the BPF helper with a negative head_room
of -22, then this gets passed into skb_cow(). __skb_cow() in this
example calculates a delta of -86 which gets aligned to -64, and then
triggers BUG_ON(nhead < 0). Thus, reject malformed negative input.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
