netfilter: x_tables: unregister the templates first

2026-06-01T15:46:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit d338693d778579b676a61346849bebd892427158 ] When the module is going away we need to zap the template first. Else there is a small race window where userspace could instantiate a new table after the pernet exit function has removed the current table.

ipv6: ioam: add NULL check for idev in ipv6_hop_ioam()

2026-06-01T15:46:19+00:00

commit d4ea0dfd75011b78cebf3808f98ac4c4f51a6fb9 upstream. Reported by Sashiko: The function ipv6_hop_ioam() accesses __in6_dev_get(skb->dev)->cnf.ioam6_enabled without validating the returned idev pointer. Because addrconf_ifdown() can concurrently clear dev->ip6_ptr via RCU, __in6_dev_get() can return NULL during interface teardown, which could cause a NULL pointer dereference when processing an IOAM Hop-by-Hop option. Let's add a check and use SKB_DROP_REASON_IPV6DISABLED accordingly.

netfilter: ip6t_hbh: reject oversized option lists

2026-06-01T15:46:18+00:00

commit 4322dcde6b4173c2d8e8e6118ed290794263bcc8 upstream. struct ip6t_opts stores at most IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR option descriptors, but hbh_mt6_check() does not reject larger optsnr values supplied from userspace. Validate optsnr in the rule setup path so only match data that fits the fixed-size opts array can be installed. This follows the existing xtables pattern of rejecting invalid user-provided counts in checkentry() and keeps the packet matching path unchanged. `struct ip6t_opts` has a fixed `opts[IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR]` array, where `IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR` is 16, then off-by-one array access is possible: [ 137.924693][ T8692] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in ../net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6t_hbh.c:110:29 [ 137.926167][ T8692] index 16 is out of range for type '__u16 [16]' Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Yuan Tan Reported-by: Yifan Wu Reported-by: Juefei Pu Reported-by: Xin Liu Signed-off-by: Zhengchuan Liang Signed-off-by: Ren Wei Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ipv6: ioam: refresh hdr pointer before ioam6_event()

2026-06-01T15:46:17+00:00

commit e46e6bc97fb1f339730ff1ba74267fbf48e7a422 upstream. Reported by Sashiko: In ipv6_hop_ioam(), the hdr pointer is initialized to point into the skb's linear data buffer. Later, the code calls skb_ensure_writable(), which might reallocate the buffer: if (skb_ensure_writable(skb, optoff + 2 + hdr->opt_len)) goto drop; /* Trace pointer may have changed */ trace = (struct ioam6_trace_hdr *)(skb_network_header(skb) + optoff + sizeof(*hdr)); ioam6_fill_trace_data(skb, ns, trace, true); ioam6_event(IOAM6_EVENT_TRACE, dev_net(skb->dev), GFP_ATOMIC, (void *)trace, hdr->opt_len - 2); If the skb is cloned or lacks sufficient linear headroom, skb_ensure_writable() will invoke pskb_expand_head(), which reallocates the skb's data buffer and frees the old one, invalidating pointers to it. While the code recalculates the trace pointer immediately after the call to skb_ensure_writable(), it fails to recalculate the hdr pointer. This patch fixes the above by recalculating the hdr pointer before passing hdr->opt_len to ioam6_event(), so that we avoid any UaF.

udp: Force compute_score to always inline

2026-05-23T11:04:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit b80a95ccf1604a882bb153c45ccb4056e44c8edb ] Back in 2024 I reported a 7-12% regression on an iperf3 UDP loopback thoughput test that we traced to the extra overhead of calling compute_score on two places, introduced by commit f0ea27e7bfe1 ("udp: re-score reuseport groups when connected sockets are present"). At the time, I pointed out the overhead was caused by the multiple calls, associated with cpu-specific mitigations, and merged commit 50aee97d1511 ("udp: Avoid call to compute_score on multiple sites") to jump back explicitly, to force the rescore call in a single place. Recently though, we got another regression report against a newer distro version, which a team colleague traced back to the same root-cause. Turns out that once we updated to gcc-13, the compiler got smart enough to unroll the loop, undoing my previous mitigation. Let's bite the bullet and __always_inline compute_score on both ipv4 and ipv6 to prevent gcc from de-optimizing it again in the future. These functions are only called in two places each, udpX_lib_lookup1 and udpX_lib_lookup2, so the extra size shouldn't be a problem and it is hot enough to be very visible in profilings. In fact, with gcc13, forcing the inline will prevent gcc from unrolling the fix from commit 50aee97d1511, so we don't end up increasing udpX_lib_lookup2 at all. I haven't recollected the results myself, as I don't have access to the machine at the moment. But the same colleague reported 4.67% inprovement with this patch in the loopback benchmark, solving the regression report within noise margins. Eric Dumazet reported no size change to vmlinux when built with clang.

ip6_gre: Use cached t->net in ip6erspan_changelink().

2026-05-14T13:29:21+00:00

commit 1d324c2f43f70c965f25c58cc3611c779adbe47e upstream. After commit 5e72ce3e3980 ("net: ipv6: Use link netns in newlink() of rtnl_link_ops"), ip6erspan_newlink() correctly resolves the per-netns ip6gre hash via link_net. ip6erspan_changelink() was not converted in that series and still uses dev_net(dev), which diverges from the device's creation netns after IFLA_NET_NS_FD migration. This re-inserts the tunnel into the wrong per-netns hash. The original netns keeps a stale entry. When that netns is later destroyed, ip6gre_exit_rtnl_net() walks the stale entry, producing a slab-use-after-free reported by KASAN, followed by a kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c (LIST_POISON1) in unregister_netdevice_many_notify(). Reachable from an unprivileged user namespace (unshare --user --map-root-user --net). ip6gre_changelink() earlier in the same file already uses the cached t->net; only ip6erspan_changelink() has the wrong shape.

xfrm: ah: account for ESN high bits in async callbacks

2026-05-14T13:29:20+00:00

commit ec54093e6a8f87e800bb6aa15eb7fc1e33faa524 upstream. AH allocates its temporary auth/ICV layout differently when ESN is enabled: the async ahash setup appends a 4-byte seqhi slot before the ICV or auth_data area, but the async completion callbacks still reconstruct the temporary layout as if seqhi were absent. With an async AH implementation selected, that makes AH copy or compare the wrong bytes on both the IPv4 and IPv6 paths. In UML repro on IPv4 AH with ESN and forced async hmac(sha1), ping fails with 100% packet loss, and the callback logs show the pre-fix drift: ah4 output_done: esn=1 err=0 icv_off=20 expected_off=24 ah4 input_done: esn=1 auth_off=20 expected_auth_off=24 icv_off=32 expected_icv_off=36 Reconstruct the callback-side layout the same way the setup path built it by skipping the ESN seqhi slot before locating the saved auth_data or ICV. Per RFC 4302, the ESN high-order 32 bits participate in the AH ICV computation, so the async callbacks must account for the seqhi slot. Post-fix, the same IPv4 AH+ESN+forced-async-hmac(sha1) UML repro shows the corrected offset (ah4 output_done: esn=1 err=0 icv_off=24 expected_off=24) and ping succeeds; net/ipv4/ah4.o and net/ipv6/ah6.o build clean at W=1. IPv6 AH+ESN was not exercised at runtime, and the change has not been tested against a real async hardware AH engine.

ipv6: xfrm6: release dst on error in xfrm6_rcv_encap()

2026-05-14T13:29:20+00:00

commit bc0fcb9823cd0894934cf968b525c575833d7078 upstream. xfrm6_rcv_encap() performs an IPv6 route lookup when the skb does not already have a dst attached. ip6_route_input_lookup() returns a referenced dst entry even when the lookup resolves to an error route. If dst->error is set, xfrm6_rcv_encap() drops the skb without attaching the dst to the skb and without releasing the reference returned by the lookup. Repeated packets hitting this path therefore leak dst entries. Release the dst before jumping to the drop path.
