ppp: fix memory leak in pad_compress_skb

2025-09-09T16:56:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4844123fe0b853a4982c02666cb3fd863d701d50 ] If alloc_skb() fails in pad_compress_skb(), it returns NULL without releasing the old skb. The caller does: skb = pad_compress_skb(ppp, skb); if (!skb) goto drop; drop: kfree_skb(skb); When pad_compress_skb() returns NULL, the reference to the old skb is lost and kfree_skb(skb) ends up doing nothing, leading to a memory leak. Align pad_compress_skb() semantics with realloc(): only free the old skb if allocation and compression succeed. At the call site, use the new_skb variable so the original skb is not lost when pad_compress_skb() fails.

ppp: fix race conditions in ppp_fill_forward_path

2025-08-28T14:28:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0417adf367a0af11adf7ace849af4638cfb573f7 ] ppp_fill_forward_path() has two race conditions: 1. The ppp->channels list can change between list_empty() and list_first_entry(), as ppp_lock() is not held. If the only channel is deleted in ppp_disconnect_channel(), list_first_entry() may access an empty head or a freed entry, and trigger a panic. 2. pch->chan can be NULL. When ppp_unregister_channel() is called, pch->chan is set to NULL before pch is removed from ppp->channels. Fix these by using a lockless RCU approach: - Use list_first_or_null_rcu() to safely test and access the first list entry. - Convert list modifications on ppp->channels to their RCU variants and add synchronize_net() after removal. - Check for a NULL pch->chan before dereferencing it.

ppp: Fix KMSAN uninit-value warning with bpf

2025-03-13T11:58:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4c2d14c40a68678d885eab4008a0129646805bae ] Syzbot caught an "KMSAN: uninit-value" warning [1], which is caused by the ppp driver not initializing a 2-byte header when using socket filter. The following code can generate a PPP filter BPF program: ''' struct bpf_program fp; pcap_t *handle; handle = pcap_open_dead(DLT_PPP_PPPD, 65535); pcap_compile(handle, &fp, "ip and outbound", 0, 0); bpf_dump(&fp, 1); ''' Its output is: ''' (000) ldh [2] (001) jeq #0x21 jt 2 jf 5 (002) ldb [0] (003) jeq #0x1 jt 4 jf 5 (004) ret #65535 (005) ret #0 ''' Wen can find similar code at the following link: https://github.com/ppp-project/ppp/blob/master/pppd/options.c#L1680 The maintainer of this code repository is also the original maintainer of the ppp driver. As you can see the BPF program skips 2 bytes of data and then reads the 'Protocol' field to determine if it's an IP packet. Then it read the first byte of the first 2 bytes to determine the direction. The issue is that only the first byte indicating direction is initialized in current ppp driver code while the second byte is not initialized. For normal BPF programs generated by libpcap, uninitialized data won't be used, so it's not a problem. However, for carefully crafted BPF programs, such as those generated by syzkaller [2], which start reading from offset 0, the uninitialized data will be used and caught by KMSAN.

pppoe: Fix memory leak in pppoe_sendmsg()

2024-08-19T04:04:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit dc34ebd5c018b0edf47f39d11083ad8312733034 ] syzbot reports a memory leak in pppoe_sendmsg [1]. The problem is in the pppoe_recvmsg() function that handles errors in the wrong order. For the skb_recv_datagram() function, check the pointer to skb for NULL first, and then check the 'error' variable, because the skb_recv_datagram() function can set 'error' to -EAGAIN in a loop but return a correct pointer to socket buffer after a number of attempts, though 'error' remains set to -EAGAIN. skb_recv_datagram __skb_recv_datagram // Loop. if (err == -EAGAIN) then // go to the next loop iteration __skb_try_recv_datagram // if (skb != NULL) then return 'skb' // else if a signal is received then // return -EAGAIN Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

ppp: reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed packets

2024-07-18T11:21:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit f2aeb7306a898e1cbd03963d376f4b6656ca2b55 ] Since 'ppp_async_encode()' assumes valid LCP packets (with code from 1 to 7 inclusive), add 'ppp_check_packet()' to ensure that LCP packet has an actual body beyond PPP_LCP header bytes, and reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed data otherwise.
