macsec: fix replay protection at XPN lower-PN wrap

2026-06-09T10:25:53+00:00

commit e68842b3356471ba56c882209f324613dac47f64 upstream. In macsec_post_decrypt(), when pn is U32_MAX, pn + 1 overflows u32 to 0 and the first branch never fires. If next_pn_halves.lower is also in the upper half, pn_same_half(pn, lower) is true and the XPN else-if does not fire either, leaving next_pn_halves unchanged. An attacker that captures the legitimate frame carrying pn == 0xFFFFFFFF on an XPN association can then replay it indefinitely, since lowest_pn never rises above the captured pn and macsec_decrypt() reconstructs the same IV. Extend the XPN else-if to also fire when pn + 1 wraps to 0, so receipt of pn == U32_MAX advances next_pn_halves to (upper + 1, 0).

macsec: read MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN with nla_get_uint

2025-09-09T16:58:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 030e1c45666629f72d0fc1d040f9d2915680de8e ] The code currently reads both U32 attributes and U64 attributes as U64, so when a U32 attribute is provided by userspace (ie, when not using XPN), on big endian systems, we'll load that value into the upper 32bits of the next_pn field instead of the lower 32bits. This means that the value that userspace provided is ignored (we only care about the lower 32bits for non-XPN), and we'll start using PNs from 0. Switch to nla_get_uint, which will read the value correctly on all arches, whether it's 32b or 64b.

macsec: MACsec SCI assignment for ES = 0

2025-06-19T13:32:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit d9816ec74e6d6aa29219d010bba3f780ba1d9d75 ] According to 802.1AE standard, when ES and SC flags in TCI are zero, used SCI should be the current active SC_RX. Current code uses the header MAC address. Without this patch, when ES flag is 0 (using a bridge or switch), header MAC will not fit the SCI and MACSec frames will be discarted. In order to test this issue, MACsec link should be stablished between two interfaces, setting SC and ES flags to zero and a port identifier different than one. For example, using ip macsec tools: ip link add link $ETH0 macsec0 type macsec port 11 send_sci off end_station off ip macsec add macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 2 on key 01 $ETH1_KEY ip macsec add macsec0 rx port 11 address $ETH1_MAC ip macsec add macsec0 rx port 11 address $ETH1_MAC sa 0 pn 2 on key 02 ip link set dev macsec0 up ip link add link $ETH1 macsec1 type macsec port 11 send_sci off end_station off ip macsec add macsec1 tx sa 0 pn 2 on key 01 $ETH0_KEY ip macsec add macsec1 rx port 11 address $ETH0_MAC ip macsec add macsec1 rx port 11 address $ETH0_MAC sa 0 pn 2 on key 02 ip link set dev macsec1 up Fixes: c09440f7dcb3 ("macsec: introduce IEEE 802.1AE driver") Co-developed-by: Andreu Montiel Signed-off-by: Andreu Montiel Signed-off-by: Carlos Fernandez Reviewed-by: Subbaraya Sundeep Signed-off-by: David S.

macsec: Fix use-after-free while sending the offloading packet

2024-10-28T23:13:50+00:00

KASAN reports the following UAF. The metadata_dst, which is used to store the SCI value for macsec offload, is already freed by metadata_dst_free() in macsec_free_netdev(), while driver still use it for sending the packet. To fix this issue, dst_release() is used instead to release metadata_dst. So it is not freed instantly in macsec_free_netdev() if still referenced by skb.

macsec: don't increment counters for an unrelated SA

2024-10-15T16:57:03+00:00

On RX, we shouldn't be incrementing the stats for an arbitrary SA in case the actual SA hasn't been set up. Those counters are intended to track packets for their respective AN when the SA isn't currently configured. Due to the way MACsec is implemented, we don't keep counters unless the SA is configured, so we can't track those packets, and those counters will remain at 0. The RXSC's stats keeps track of those packets without telling us which AN they belonged to. We could add counters for non-existent SAs, and then find a way to integrate them in the dump to userspace, but I don't think it's worth the effort.

macsec: Detect if Rx skb is macsec-related for offloading devices that update md_dst

2024-04-25T15:20:54+00:00

Can now correctly identify where the packets should be delivered by using md_dst or its absence on devices that provide it. This detection is not possible without device drivers that update md_dst. A fallback pattern should be used for supporting such device drivers. This fallback mode causes multicast messages to be cloned to both the non-macsec and macsec ports, independent of whether the multicast message received was encrypted over MACsec or not. Other non-macsec traffic may also fail to be handled correctly for devices in promiscuous mode.

net: macsec: Leverage core stats allocator

2024-03-07T04:36:21+00:00

With commit 34d21de99cea9 ("net: Move {l,t,d}stats allocation to core and convert veth & vrf"), stats allocation could be done on net core instead of in this driver. With this new approach, the driver doesn't have to bother with error handling (allocation failure checking, making sure free happens in the right spot, etc). This is core responsibility now. Remove the allocation in the macsec driver and leverage the network core allocation instead.
