      <title>CVE-2023-53669 — tcp: fix skb_copy_ubufs() vs BIG TCP</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2023-53669</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tcp: fix skb_copy_ubufs() vs BIG TCP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;David Ahern reported crashes in skb_copy_ubufs() caused by TCP tx zerocopy
using hugepages, and skb length bigger than ~68 KB.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;skb_copy_ubufs() assumed it could copy all payload using up to
MAX_SKB_FRAGS order-0 pages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This assumption broke when BIG TCP was able to put up to 512 KB per skb.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We did not hit this bug at Google because we use CONFIG_MAX_SKB_FRAGS=45
and limit gso_max_size to 180000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A solution is to use higher order pages if needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;v2: add missing __GFP_COMP, or we leak memory.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
