netfilter: synproxy: refresh tcphdr after skb_ensure_writable

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

netfilter: synproxy: refresh tcphdr after skb_ensure_writable

synproxy_tstamp_adjust() rewrites the TCP timestamp option in place
and then patches the TCP checksum via inet_proto_csum_replace4() on
the caller-supplied tcphdr pointer.  Both ipv4_synproxy_hook() and
ipv6_synproxy_hook() obtain that pointer with skb_header_pointer()
before calling in, so it may either alias skb->head directly or
point at the caller's on-stack _tcph buffer.

Between obtaining the pointer and using it, the function calls
skb_ensure_writable(skb, optend), which on a cloned or non-linear
skb invokes pskb_expand_head() and frees the old skb->head.  After
that point the cached th is stale:

    caller (ipv[46]_synproxy_hook)
      th = skb_header_pointer(skb, ..., &_tcph)
      synproxy_tstamp_adjust(skb, protoff, th, ...)
        skb_ensure_writable(skb, optend)
          pskb_expand_head()        /* kfree(old skb->head) */
        ...
        inet_proto_csum_replace4(&th->check, ...)
                                    /* writes into freed head, or
                                       into the caller's stack copy
                                       leaving the on-wire checksum
                                       stale */

The option bytes are written through skb->data and are fine; only
the checksum update goes through th and so lands in the wrong
place.  The result is either a write into freed slab memory or a
packet leaving with a checksum that does not match its payload.

Fix by re-deriving th from skb->data + protoff immediately after
skb_ensure_writable() succeeds, so the subsequent checksum update
targets the linear, writable header.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
