ila: reload IPv6 header after pskb_may_pull in checksum adjust

2026-08-03T09:25:59+00:00

commit 92d3817649df2b0b6a008a686c8275c88d7ef594 upstream. ila_csum_adjust_transport() caches ip6h = ipv6_hdr(skb) before calling pskb_may_pull(). On a non-linear skb whose transport header sits in a page fragment, pskb_may_pull() can call __pskb_pull_tail() / pskb_expand_head() and free the old skb head, leaving ip6h dangling; the following get_csum_diff(ip6h, p) then reads freed memory. ila_update_ipv6_locator() uses ip6h (and the iaddr derived from it) again after the csum-adjust call and additionally writes the new locator through that pointer. Impact: a remote IPv6 packet routed through a configured ILA csum-adjust-transport route or receive-side mapping triggers a slab-use-after-free in ila_update_ipv6_locator() (KASAN). The route or mapping requires CAP_NET_ADMIN to configure, but trigger packets are unauthenticated once it exists. Reload ip6h after each pskb_may_pull() in ila_csum_adjust_transport() before the csum-diff read. In ila_update_ipv6_locator() only the ILA_CSUM_ADJUST_TRANSPORT case pulls the skb, so reload ip6h and iaddr in that case alone before the destination-address write; the neutral-map modes never pull and keep their cached pointers.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

net: Fix checksum update for ILA adj-transport

2025-05-31T02:53:51+00:00

During ILA address translations, the L4 checksums can be handled in different ways. One of them, adj-transport, consist in parsing the transport layer and updating any found checksum. This logic relies on inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff and produces an incorrect skb->csum when in state CHECKSUM_COMPLETE. This bug can be reproduced with a simple ILA to SIR mapping, assuming packets are received with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE: $ ip a show dev eth0 14: eth0@if15: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 62:ae:35:9e:0f:8d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0 inet6 3333:0:0:1::c078/64 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fd00:10:244:1::c078/128 scope global nodad valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::60ae:35ff:fe9e:f8d/64 scope link proto kernel_ll valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever $ ip ila add loc_match fd00:10:244:1 loc 3333:0:0:1 \ csum-mode adj-transport ident-type luid dev eth0 Then I hit [fd00:10:244:1::c078]:8000 with a server listening only on [3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000. With the bug, the SYN packet is dropped with SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_CSUM after inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff changed skb->csum. The translation and drop are visible on pwru [1] traces: IFACE TUPLE FUNC eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[fd00:10:244:1::c078]:8000(tcp) ipv6_rcv eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[fd00:10:244:1::c078]:8000(tcp) ip6_rcv_core eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[fd00:10:244:1::c078]:8000(tcp) nf_hook_slow eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[fd00:10:244:1::c078]:8000(tcp) inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) tcp_v6_early_demux eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) ip6_route_input eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) ip6_input eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) ip6_input_finish eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) raw6_local_deliver eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) ipv6_raw_deliver eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) tcp_v6_rcv eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) __skb_checksum_complete eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) kfree_skb_reason(SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_CSUM) eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) skb_release_head_state eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) skb_release_data eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) skb_free_head eth0:9 [fd00:10:244:3::3d8]:51420->[3333:0:0:1::c078]:8000(tcp) kfree_skbmem This is happening because inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff is updating skb->csum when it shouldn't. The L4 checksum is updated such that it "cancels" the IPv6 address change in terms of checksum computation, so the impact on skb->csum is null. Note this would be different for an IPv4 packet since three fields would be updated: the IPv4 address, the IP checksum, and the L4 checksum. Two would cancel each other and skb->csum would still need to be updated to take the L4 checksum change into account. This patch fixes it by passing an ipv6 flag to inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff, to skip the skb->csum update if we're in the IPv6 case. Note the behavior of the only other user of inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff, the BPF subsystem, is left as is in this patch and fixed in the subsequent patch. With the fix, using the reproduction from above, I can confirm skb->csum is not touched by inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff and the TCP SYN proceeds to the application after the ILA translation.
