Florian Westphal 57e4e29644 netfilter: nf_nat_sip: reload possible stale data pointer
commit 77e43bcb7e upstream.

quoting sashiko:
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 [..] noticed a potential memory bug and header corruption involving the
 SIP NAT helper.

 In net/netfilter/nf_nat_sip.c:nf_nat_sip():
	if (skb_ensure_writable(skb, skb->len)) {
		nf_ct_helper_log(skb, ct, "cannot mangle packet");
		return NF_DROP;
	}
	uh = (void *)skb->data + protoff;
	uh->dest = ct_sip_info->forced_dport;
	if (!nf_nat_mangle_udp_packet(skb, ct, ctinfo, protoff,
				      0, 0, NULL, 0)) {

 If a cloned or fragmented SKB is reallocated by skb_ensure_writable(), the
 old data buffer is freed. However, nf_nat_sip() fails to update *dptr to
 point to the new buffer.

 It also appears to use nf_nat_mangle_udp_packet() on what could be a TCP
 packet, which would overwrite the sequence number with a checksum update.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

nf_conntrack_sip linerizes skbs, hence no fragmented skb can be seen.
But clones are possible, so rebuild dptr.

Disable nf_nat_mangle_udp_packet() branch for TCP streams.
It doesn't look like this can ever happen, else we should have received
bug reports about this, so just check the conntrack is UDP and drop
otherwise.

The calling conntrack_sip set ->forced_dport for SIP_HDR_VIA_UDP messages,
so I don't think this is ever expected to be true for a TCP stream.

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 Restructured Text 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.
