net: Check against nb->tail in grub_netbuff_pull()
GRUB netbuff structure members track 2 different things: the extent of memory allocated for the packet, and the extent of memory currently being worked on. This works out in the structure as follows: nb->head: beginning of the allocation nb->data: beginning of the working data nb->tail: end of the working data nb->end: end of the allocation The head and end pointers are set in grub_netbuff_alloc() and do not change. The data and tail pointers are initialised to point at start of the allocation (that is, head == data == tail initially), and are then manipulated by grub_netbuff_*() functions. Key functions are as follows: - grub_netbuff_put(): "put" more data into the packet - advance nb->tail - grub_netbuff_unput(): trim the tail of the packet - retract nb->tail - grub_netbuff_pull(): "consume" some packet data - advance nb->data - grub_netbuff_reserve(): reserve space for future headers - advance nb->data and nb->tail - grub_netbuff_push(): "un-consume" data to allow headers to be written - retract nb->data Each of those functions does some form of error checking. For example, grub_netbuff_put() does not allow nb->tail to exceed nb->end, and grub_netbuff_push() does not allow nb->data to be before nb->head. However, grub_netbuff_pull()'s error checking is a bit weird. It advances nb->data and checks that it does not exceed nb->end. That allows you to get into the situation where nb->data > nb->tail, which should not be. Make grub_netbuff_pull() check against both nb->tail and nb->end. In theory just checking against ->tail should be sufficient but the extra check should be cheap and seems like good defensive practice.
