In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: gue: reject invalid REMCSUM offsets
The REMCSUM option carries an absolute checksum start and checksum field
offset. gue_remcsum() passes them to skb_remcsum_process(), whose
partial path stores offset - start in the u16 skb->csum_offset variable.
If offset is less than start, this underflows.
A forwarded packet can retain CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and reach a NETIF_F_HW_CSUM
driver which trusts the metadata, leading skb_copy_and_csum_dev() to write
two bytes about 64 KiB beyond the destination buffer.
Reject reversed tuples in validate_gue_flags(), after the existing length
validation, so all GUE parsers enforce the ordering in one place.
