Subject: CVE-2013-4563 -- Linux kernel: net: large udp packet over IPv6 over
UFO-enabled device with TBF qdisc panic
Commit 1e2bd517c108816220f262d7954b697af03b5f9c ("udp6: Fix udp
fragmentation for tunnel traffic.") changed the calculation if
there is enough space to include a fragment header in the skb from a
skb->mac_header dervived one to skb_headroom. Because we already peeled
off the skb to transport_header this is wrong.
This fixes a panic Saran Neti reported. He used the tbf scheduler which
skb_gso_segments the skb. The offsets get negative and we panic in
memcpy because the skb was erroneously not expanded at the head.
