CVE-2024-26804 is a Linux kernel flaw in the IPv4 IP-tunnel transmission infrastructure. Recursive routing between GRE and IPIP tunnel devices can cause their needed_headroom values to increase indefinitely across transmitted packets. Once headroom expansion makes the distance between skb->head and skb->data exceed 64 KiB, the 16-bit skb->network_header offset can wrap. A subsequent network-offset calculation can return a negative value that is passed to __skb_pull as an unsigned argument, moving skb->data outside its allocated buffer and triggering an out-of-bounds access or KASAN-reported use-after-free. The issue was introduced in Linux kernel 2.6.34.
