bonding: prevent potential infinite loop in bond_header_parse()

2026-07-24T14:02:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit b7405dcf7385445e10821777143f18c3ce20fa04 ] bond_header_parse() can loop if a stack of two bonding devices is setup, because skb->dev always points to the hierarchy top. Add new "const struct net_device *dev" parameter to (struct header_ops)->parse() method to make sure the recursion is bounded, and that the final leaf parse method is called.

net: ip_gre: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink

2026-07-24T14:02:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8165f7ff57d9667d2bb477ef6af83ede7fed4ad7 ] A tunnel changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and the tunnel link netns t->net. They differ once the device is created in or moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a caller privileged there but not in t->net can rewrite a tunnel that lives in t->net. Add rtnl_dev_link_net_capable() next to rtnl_get_net_ns_capable() in net/core/rtnetlink.c. It requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the link netns and is skipped when the link netns is dev_net(dev), where the rtnl path already checked it. The other patches in this series use the same helper. Gate ipgre_changelink() and erspan_changelink() with it, at the top of the op before any attribute is parsed, because the parsers update live tunnel fields first. ipgre_netlink_parms() sets t->collect_md before ip_tunnel_changelink() runs. Commit 8b484efd5cb4 ("ip6: vti: Use ip6_tnl.net in vti6_siocdevprivate().") added the same check on the ioctl path. This adds it on RTM_NEWLINK.

ipv4: ip_gre: make ipgre_header() robust

ipv4: ip_gre: Fix drops of small packets in ipgre_xmit

2024-10-10T09:57:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit c4a14f6d9d17ad1e41a36182dd3b8a5fd91efbd7 ] Regression Description: Depending on the options specified for the GRE tunnel device, small packets may be dropped. This occurs because the pskb_network_may_pull function fails due to the packet's insufficient length. For example, if only the okey option is specified for the tunnel device, original (before encapsulation) packets smaller than 28 bytes (including the IPv4 header) will be dropped. This happens because the required length is calculated relative to the network header, not the skb->head. Here is how the required length is computed and checked: * The pull_len variable is set to 28 bytes, consisting of: * IPv4 header: 20 bytes * GRE header with Key field: 8 bytes * The pskb_network_may_pull function adds the network offset, shifting the checkable space further to the beginning of the network header and extending it to the beginning of the packet. As a result, the end of the checkable space occurs beyond the actual end of the packet. Instead of ensuring that 28 bytes are present in skb->head, the function is requesting these 28 bytes starting from the network header. For small packets, this requested length exceeds the actual packet size, causing the check to fail and the packets to be dropped. This issue affects both locally originated and forwarded packets in DMVPN-like setups. How to reproduce (for local originated packets): ip link add dev gre1 type gre ikey 1.9.8.4 okey 1.9.8.4 \ local remote 0.0.0.0 ip link set mtu 1400 dev gre1 ip link set up dev gre1 ip address add 192.168.13.1/24 dev gre1 ip neighbor add 192.168.13.2 lladdr dev gre1 ping -s 1374 -c 10 192.168.13.2 tcpdump -vni gre1 tcpdump -vni 'ip proto 47' ip -s -s -d link show dev gre1 Solution: Use the pskb_may_pull function instead the pskb_network_may_pull.
