tcp: fix corruption of urgent data on multi-segment retransmit

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: fix corruption of urgent data on multi-segment retransmit On the normal xmit path, while in urgent mode we refuse to build a multi-segment TSO packet, so every segment gets its own urg_ptr: /* tcp_write_xmit() */ limit = mss_now; if (tso_segs > 1 && !tcp_urg_mode(tp)) limit = tcp_mss_split_point(...); The retransmit path has no such guard. __tcp_retransmit_skb() builds a segs > 1 skb and hands it to the GSO layer, which only advances th->seq per segment and copies urg_ptr verbatim: /* __tcp_retransmit_skb() */ len = cur_mss * segs; /* segs > 1, no urg_mode check */ ... /* tcp_gso_segment(): bumps seq only, urg_ptr is copied */ urg_ptr is an offset from the segment's own seq, so a copied value points at a different place on each segment. The receiver rebuilds the absolute urgent seq as seg.seq + urg_ptr, so it walks a moving urgent point instead of the one OOB byte: seg1 seq 1 urg_ptr 5001 -> urgent @ 5001 (ok) seg2 seq 1001 urg_ptr 5001 -> urgent @ 6001 (wrong, +MSS) seg3 seq 2001 urg_ptr 5001 -> urgent @ 7001 (wrong, +2*MSS) The real OOB byte is never pointed at, so the receiver stops splicing it out and delivers it as normal in-band data, corrupting the stream. Guard the retransmit length like the xmit path: keep segs = 1 while in urgent mode.
