A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s net/core/skbuff.c subsystem. The GSO_BY_FRAGS is a forbidden value and allows the following computation in skb_segment() to reach it. The : mss = mss * partial_segs and many initial mss values can lead to a bad final result. Limit the segmentation so that the new mss value is smaller than GSO_BY_FRAGS.
