Daniel Borkmann 076b8cad77 ipv6: Cap TLV scan in ip6_tnl_parse_tlv_enc_lim
Commit 47d3d7ac65 ("ipv6: Implement limits on Hop-by-Hop and
Destination options") added net.ipv6.max_{hbh,dst}_opts_{cnt,len}
and applied them in ip6_parse_tlv(), the generic TLV walker
invoked from ipv6_destopt_rcv() and ipv6_parse_hopopts().

ip6_tnl_parse_tlv_enc_lim() does not go through ip6_parse_tlv();
it has its own hand-rolled TLV scanner inside its NEXTHDR_DEST
branch which looks for IPV6_TLV_TNL_ENCAP_LIMIT. That inner
loop is bounded only by optlen, which can be up to 2048 bytes.
Stuffing the Destination Options header with 2046 Pad1 (type=0)
entries advances the scanner a single byte at a time, yielding
~2000 TLV iterations per extension header.

Reusing max_dst_opts_cnt to bound the TLV iterations, matching
the semantics from 47d3d7ac65, would require duplicating
ip6_parse_tlv() to also validate Pad1/PadN payload. It would
also mandate enforcing max_dst_opts_len, since otherwise an
attacker shifts the axis to few options with a giant PadN and
recovers the original DoS. Allowing up to 8 options before the
tunnel encapsulation limit TLV is liberal enough; in practice
encap limit is the first TLV. Thus, go with a hard-coded limit
IP6_TUNNEL_MAX_DEST_TLVS (8).
