net: skbuff: fix missing zerocopy reference in pskb_carve helpers

2026-06-19T11:33:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 98d0912e9f841e5529a5b89a972805f34cb1c69d ] pskb_carve_inside_header() and pskb_carve_inside_nonlinear() both copy the old skb_shared_info header into a new buffer via memcpy(), which includes the destructor_arg pointer (uarg) for MSG_ZEROCOPY skbs. Neither function calls net_zcopy_get() for the new shinfo, creating an unaccounted holder: every skb_shared_info with destructor_arg set will call skb_zcopy_clear() once when freed, but the corresponding net_zcopy_get() was never called for the new copy. Repeated calls drive uarg->refcnt to zero prematurely, freeing ubuf_info_msgzc while TX skbs still hold live destructor_arg pointers. KASAN reports use-after-free on a freed ubuf_info_msgzc: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in skb_release_data+0x77b/0x810 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88801574d3e8 by task poc/220 Call Trace: skb_release_data+0x77b/0x810 kfree_skb_list_reason+0x13e/0x610 skb_release_data+0x4cd/0x810 sk_skb_reason_drop+0xf3/0x340 skb_queue_purge_reason+0x282/0x440 rds_tcp_inc_free+0x1e/0x30 rds_recvmsg+0x354/0x1780 __sys_recvmsg+0xdf/0x180 Allocated by task 219: msg_zerocopy_realloc+0x157/0x7b0 tcp_sendmsg_locked+0x2892/0x3ba0 Freed by task 219: ip_recv_error+0x74a/0xb10 tcp_recvmsg+0x475/0x530 The skb consuming the late access still referenced the same uarg via shinfo->destructor_arg copied by pskb_carve_inside_nonlinear() without a refcount bump. This has been verified to be reliably exploitable: a working proof-of-concept achieves full root privilege escalation from an unprivileged local user on a default kernel configuration. The fix follows the pattern of pskb_expand_head() which has the same memcpy/cloned structure. For pskb_carve_inside_header(), net_zcopy_get() is placed after skb_orphan_frags() succeeds, so the orphan error path needs no cleanup. For pskb_carve_inside_nonlinear(), net_zcopy_get() is placed after all failure points and just before skb_release_data(), so no error path needs cleanup at all -- matching pskb_expand_head() more closely and avoiding the need for a balancing net_zcopy_put().

genetlink: Use internal flags for multicast groups

2026-06-19T11:33:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit cd4d7263d58ab98fd4dee876776e4da6c328faa3 ] As explained in commit e03781879a0d ("drop_monitor: Require 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' when joining "events" group"), the "flags" field in the multicast group structure reuses uAPI flags despite the field not being exposed to user space. This makes it impossible to extend its use without adding new uAPI flags, which is inappropriate for internal kernel checks. Solve this by adding internal flags (i.e., "GENL_MCAST_*") and convert the existing users to use them instead of the uAPI flags. Tested using the reproducers in commit 44ec98ea5ea9 ("psample: Require 'CAP_NET_ADMIN' when joining "packets" group") and commit e03781879a0d ("drop_monitor: Require 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' when joining "events" group").

net: guard timestamp cmsgs to real error queue skbs

2026-06-19T11:33:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1ee90b77b727df903033db873c75caac5c27ec98 ] skb_is_err_queue() treats PACKET_OUTGOING as the sole marker for an skb from sk_error_queue. That assumption is not true for AF_PACKET sockets: outgoing packet taps are also delivered to packet sockets with skb->pkt_type == PACKET_OUTGOING, but their skb->cb is owned by AF_PACKET instead of struct sock_exterr_skb. If such an skb is received with timestamping enabled, the generic timestamp cmsg path can read AF_PACKET control-buffer state as sock_exterr_skb::opt_stats. With SO_RXQ_OVFL enabled, the packet drop counter overlaps opt_stats. An odd drop count makes the path emit SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS with skb->len and skb->data. For non-linear skbs this copies past the linear head and can trigger hardened usercopy or disclose adjacent heap contents. Keep skb_is_err_queue() local to net/socket.c, but make it verify that the PACKET_OUTGOING marker is paired with the sock_rmem_free destructor installed by sock_queue_err_skb(). AF_PACKET receive skbs use normal receive ownership and no longer pass as error-queue skbs, while legitimate sk_error_queue entries keep the PACKET_OUTGOING marker and sock_rmem_free ownership.

bpf: Free reuseport cBPF prog after RCU grace period.

2026-06-19T11:33:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 18fc650ccd7fe3376eca89203668cfb8268f60df ] Eulgyu Kim reported the splat below with a repro. [0] The repro sets up a UDP reuseport group with a cBPF prog and replaces it with a new one while another thread is sending a UDP packet to the group. The reuseport prog is freed by sk_reuseport_prog_free(). bpf_prog_put() is called for "e"BPF prog to destruct through multiple stages while cBPF prog is freed immediately by bpf_release_orig_filter() and bpf_prog_free(). If a reuseport prog is detached from the setsockopt() path (reuseport_attach_prog() or reuseport_detach_prog()), sk_reuseport_prog_free() is called without waiting for RCU readers to complete, resulting in various bugs. Let's defer freeing the reuseport cBPF prog after one RCU grace period. Note "e"BPF prog is safe as is unless the fast path starts to touch fields destroyed in bpf_prog_put_deferred() and __bpf_prog_put_noref().

bpf: sockmap: fix tail fragment offset in bpf_msg_push_data

2026-06-19T11:33:28+00:00

commit f72eed9b84fb771019a955908132410a9ba9ea3f upstream. When bpf_msg_push_data() inserts data in the middle of a scatterlist entry, it splits the original entry into a left fragment and a right fragment. The right fragment offset is page-local, but the code advances it with `start`, which is the message-global insertion point. For inserts into a non-first SG entry, this over-advances the offset and leaves the split layout inconsistent. Advance the right fragment offset by the fragment-local delta, `start - offset`, which matches the length removed from the front of the original entry.

flow_dissector: Do not count vlan tags inside tunnel payload

2026-06-01T15:35:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9f87eb4246994e32a4e4ea88476b20ab3b412840 ] We've met the problem that when there is a vlan tag inside GRE encapsulation, the match of num_of_vlans fails. It is caused by the vlan tag inside GRE payload has been counted into num_of_vlans, which is not expected. One example packet is like this: Ethernet II, Src: Broadcom_68:56:07 (00:10:18:68:56:07) Dst: Broadcom_68:56:08 (00:10:18:68:56:08) 802.1Q Virtual LAN, PRI: 0, DEI: 0, ID: 100 Internet Protocol Version 4, Src: 192.168.1.4, Dst: 192.168.1.200 Generic Routing Encapsulation (Transparent Ethernet bridging) Ethernet II, Src: Broadcom_68:58:07 (00:10:18:68:58:07) Dst: Broadcom_68:58:08 (00:10:18:68:58:08) 802.1Q Virtual LAN, PRI: 0, DEI: 0, ID: 200 ... It should match the (num_of_vlans 1) rule, but it matches the (num_of_vlans 2) rule. The vlan tags inside the GRE or other tunnel encapsulated payload should not be taken into num_of_vlans. The fix is to stop counting the vlan number when the encapsulation bit is set.

flow_dissector: do not dissect PPPoE PFC frames

2026-06-01T15:35:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit d6c19b31a3c1d519fabdcf0aa239e6b6109b9473 ] RFC 2516 Section 7 states that Protocol Field Compression (PFC) is NOT RECOMMENDED for PPPoE. In practice, pppd does not support negotiating PFC for PPPoE sessions, and the flow dissector driver has assumed an uncompressed frame until the blamed commit. During the review process of that commit [1], support for PFC is suggested. However, having a compressed (1-byte) protocol field means the subsequent PPP payload is shifted by one byte, causing 4-byte misalignment for the network header and an unaligned access exception on some architectures. The exception can be reproduced by sending a PPPoE PFC frame to an ethernet interface of a MIPS board, with RPS enabled, even if no PPPoE session is active on that interface: $ 0 : 00000000 80c40000 00000000 85144817 $ 4 : 00000008 00000100 80a75758 81dc9bb8 $ 8 : 00000010 8087ae2c 0000003d 00000000 $12 : 000000e0 00000039 00000000 00000000 $16 : 85043240 80a75758 81dc9bb8 00006488 $20 : 0000002f 00000007 85144810 80a70000 $24 : 81d1bda0 00000000 $28 : 81dc8000 81dc9aa8 00000000 805ead08 Hi : 00009d51 Lo : 2163358a epc : 805e91f0 __skb_flow_dissect+0x1b0/0x1b50 ra : 805ead08 __skb_get_hash_net+0x74/0x12c Status: 11000403 KERNEL EXL IE Cause : 40800010 (ExcCode 04) BadVA : 85144817 PrId : 0001992f (MIPS 1004Kc) Call Trace: [<805e91f0>] __skb_flow_dissect+0x1b0/0x1b50 [<805ead08>] __skb_get_hash_net+0x74/0x12c [<805ef330>] get_rps_cpu+0x1b8/0x3fc [<805fca70>] netif_receive_skb_list_internal+0x324/0x364 [<805fd120>] napi_complete_done+0x68/0x2a4 [<8058de5c>] mtk_napi_rx+0x228/0xfec [<805fd398>] __napi_poll+0x3c/0x1c4 [<805fd754>] napi_threaded_poll_loop+0x234/0x29c [<805fd848>] napi_threaded_poll+0x8c/0xb0 [<80053544>] kthread+0x104/0x12c [<80002bd8>] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c Code: 02d51821 1060045b 00000000 <8c640000> 3084000f 2c820005 144001a2 00042080 8e220000 To reduce the attack surface and maintain performance, do not process PPPoE PFC frames.

[ Upstream commit 34951fcf26c59e78ae430fba1fce7c08b1871249 ] Our customers in the fiber telecom world have network configurations where they would like to control their traffic according to the number of tags appearing in the packet. For example, TR247 GPON conformance test suite specification mostly talks about untagged, single, double tagged packets and gives lax guidelines on the vlan protocol vs. number of vlan tags. This is different from the common IT networks where 802.1Q and 802.1ad protocols are usually describe single and double tagged packet. GPON configurations that we work with have arbitrary mix the above protocols and number of vlan tags in the packet. The goal is to make the following TC commands possible: tc filter add dev eth1 ingress flower \ num_of_vlans 1 vlan_prio 5 action drop From our logs, we have redirect rules such that: tc filter add dev $GPON ingress flower num_of_vlans $N \ action mirred egress redirect dev $DEV where N can range from 0 to 3 and $DEV is the function of $N. Also there are rules setting skb mark based on the number of vlans: tc filter add dev $GPON ingress flower num_of_vlans $N vlan_prio \ $P action skbedit mark $M This new dissector allows extracting the number of vlan tags existing in the packet.
