From e358f4af19db46ca25cc9a8a78412b09ba98859d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sat, 15 Jun 2019 17:40:56 -0700 Subject: tcp: tcp_fragment() should apply sane memory limits commit f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e upstream. Jonathan Looney reported that a malicious peer can force a sender to fragment its retransmit queue into tiny skbs, inflating memory usage and/or overflow 32bit counters. TCP allows an application to queue up to sk_sndbuf bytes, so we need to give some allowance for non malicious splitting of retransmit queue. A new SNMP counter is added to monitor how many times TCP did not allow to split an skb if the allowance was exceeded. Note that this counter might increase in the case applications use SO_SNDBUF socket option to lower sk_sndbuf.
