Eric Dumazet 09ff062b89 ipv6: reject malicious packets in ipv6_gso_segment()
[ Upstream commit d45cf1e7d7 ]

syzbot was able to craft a packet with very long IPv6 extension headers
leading to an overflow of skb->transport_header.

This 16bit field has a limited range.

Add skb_reset_transport_header_careful() helper and use it
from ipv6_gso_segment()

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.
