af_key: validate families in pfkey_send_migrate()

2026-04-18T08:33:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit eb2d16a7d599dc9d4df391b5e660df9949963786 ] syzbot was able to trigger a crash in skb_put() [1] Issue is that pfkey_send_migrate() does not check old/new families, and that set_ipsecrequest() @family argument was truncated, thus possibly overfilling the skb. Validate families early, do not wait set_ipsecrequest().

Revert "xfrm: destroy xfrm_state synchronously on net exit path"

2026-01-19T12:09:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2a198bbec6913ae1c90ec963750003c6213668c7 ] This reverts commit f75a2804da391571563c4b6b29e7797787332673. With all states (whether user or kern) removed from the hashtables during deletion, there's no need for synchronous destruction of states. xfrm6_tunnel states still need to have been destroyed (which will be the case when its last user is deleted (not destroyed)) so that xfrm6_tunnel_free_spi removes it from the per-netns hashtable before the netns is destroyed. This has the benefit of skipping one synchronize_rcu per state (in __xfrm_state_destroy(sync=true)) when we exit a netns.

af_key: Reject optional tunnel/BEET mode templates in outbound policies

2023-05-24T16:36:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit cf3128a7aca55b2eefb68281d44749c683bdc96f ] xfrm_state_find() uses `encap_family` of the current template with the passed local and remote addresses to find a matching state. If an optional tunnel or BEET mode template is skipped in a mixed-family scenario, there could be a mismatch causing an out-of-bounds read as the addresses were not replaced to match the family of the next template. While there are theoretical use cases for optional templates in outbound policies, the only practical one is to skip IPComp states in inbound policies if uncompressed packets are received that are handled by an implicitly created IPIP state instead.

xfrm: Fix oops in __xfrm_state_delete()

2022-12-02T16:41:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit b97df039a68b2f3e848e238df5d5d06343ea497b ] Kernel 5.14 added a new "byseq" index to speed up xfrm_state lookups by sequence number in commit fe9f1d8779cb ("xfrm: add state hashtable keyed by seq") While the patch was thorough, the function pfkey_send_new_mapping() in net/af_key.c also modifies x->km.seq and never added the current xfrm_state to the "byseq" index. This leads to the following kernel Ooops: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 .. RIP: 0010:__xfrm_state_delete+0xc9/0x1c0 ..

The bug only triggers if a new NAT traversal mapping (changed IP or port) is detected in esp_input_done2() / esp6_input_done2(), which in turn indirectly calls pfkey_send_new_mapping() *if* the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_NET_KEY and "af_key" is active. The PF_KEYv2 message SADB_X_NAT_T_NEW_MAPPING is not part of RFC 2367. Various implementations have been examined how they handle the "sadb_msg_seq" header field: - racoon (Android): does not process SADB_X_NAT_T_NEW_MAPPING - strongswan: does not care about sadb_msg_seq - openswan: does not care about sadb_msg_seq There is no standard how PF_KEYv2 sadb_msg_seq should be populated for SADB_X_NAT_T_NEW_MAPPING and it's not used in popular implementations either. Herbert Xu suggested we should just use the current km.seq value as is. This fixes the root cause of the oops since we no longer modify km.seq itself. The update of "km.seq" looks like a copy'n'paste error from pfkey_send_acquire(). SADB_ACQUIRE must indeed assign a unique km.seq number according to RFC 2367. It has been verified that code paths involving pfkey_send_acquire() don't cause the same Oops.

af_key: Fix send_acquire race with pfkey_register

2022-12-02T16:41:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7f57f8165cb6d2c206e2b9ada53b9e2d6d8af42f ] The function pfkey_send_acquire may race with pfkey_register (which could even be in a different name space). This may result in a buffer overrun. Allocating the maximum amount of memory that could be used prevents this.

Revert "net: af_key: add check for pfkey_broadcast in function pfkey_process"

2022-06-14T16:36:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9c90c9b3e50e16d03c7f87d63e9db373974781e0 ] This reverts commit 4dc2a5a8f6754492180741facf2a8787f2c415d7. A non-zero return value from pfkey_broadcast() does not necessarily mean an error occurred as this function returns -ESRCH when no registered listener received the message. In particular, a call with BROADCAST_PROMISC_ONLY flag and null one_sk argument can never return zero so that this commit in fact prevents processing any PF_KEY message. One visible effect is that racoon daemon fails to find encryption algorithms like aes and refuses to start. Excluding -ESRCH return value would fix this but it's not obvious that we really want to bail out here and most other callers of pfkey_broadcast() also ignore the return value. Also, as pointed out by Steffen Klassert, PF_KEY is kind of deprecated and newer userspace code should use netlink instead so that we should only disturb the code for really important fixes. v2: add a comment explaining why is the return value ignored Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

net: af_key: check encryption module availability consistency

[ Upstream commit 015c44d7bff3f44d569716117becd570c179ca32 ] Since the recent introduction supporting the SM3 and SM4 hash algos for IPsec, the kernel produces invalid pfkey acquire messages, when these encryption modules are disabled. This happens because the availability of the algos wasn't checked in all necessary functions. This patch adds these checks.
