In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

openvswitch: fix stack OOB read while fragmenting IPv4 packets

running openvswitch on kernels built with KASAN, it's possible to see the following splat while testing fragmentation of IPv4 packets:

addr ffff888112fc713c is located in stack of task handler2/1367 at offset 180 in frame: ovs_fragment+0x0/0x840 [openvswitch]

this frame has 2 objects: [32, 144) 'ovs_dst' [192, 424) 'ovs_rt'

for IPv4 packets, ovs_fragment() uses a temporary struct dst_entry. Then, in the following call graph:

ip_do_fragment() ip_skb_dst_mtu() ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward() ip_mtu_locked()

the pointer to struct dst_entry is used as pointer to struct rtable: this turns the access to struct members like rt_mtu_locked into an OOB read in the stack. Fix this changing the temporary variable used for IPv4 packets in ovs_fragment(), similarly to what is done for IPv6 few lines below.
