Subject: ipv6: fix calculation of option len in ip6_append_data
From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 3a1cebe7e05027a1c96f2fc1a8eddf5f19b78f42 ]
tot_len does specify the size of struct ipv6_txoptions. We need opt_flen +
opt_nflen to calculate the overall length of additional ipv6 extensions.
I found this while auditing the ipv6 output path for a memory corruption
reported by Alexey Preobrazhensky while he fuzzed an instrumented
AddressSanitizer kernel with trinity. This may or may not be the cause
of the original bug.
Fixes: 4df98e76cde7c6 ("ipv6: pmtudisc setting not respected with UFO/CORK")
