l2tp: Drop large packets with UDP encap

2026-04-22T11:18:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit ebe560ea5f54134279356703e73b7f867c89db13 ] syzbot reported a WARN on my patch series [1]. The actual issue is an overflow of 16-bit UDP length field, and it exists in the upstream code. My series added a debug WARN with an overflow check that exposed the issue, that's why syzbot tripped on my patches, rather than on upstream code. syzbot's repro: r0 = socket$pppl2tp(0x18, 0x1, 0x1) r1 = socket$inet6_udp(0xa, 0x2, 0x0) connect$inet6(r1, &(0x7f00000000c0)={0xa, 0x0, 0x0, @loopback, 0xfffffffc}, 0x1c) connect$pppl2tp(r0, &(0x7f0000000240)=@pppol2tpin6={0x18, 0x1, {0x0, r1, 0x4, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, {0xa, 0x4e22, 0xffff, @ipv4={'\x00', '\xff\xff', @empty}}}}, 0x32) writev(r0, &(0x7f0000000080)=[{&(0x7f0000000000)="ee", 0x34000}], 0x1) It basically sends an oversized (0x34000 bytes) PPPoL2TP packet with UDP encapsulation, and l2tp_xmit_core doesn't check for overflows when it assigns the UDP length field. The value gets trimmed to 16 bites. Add an overflow check that drops oversized packets and avoids sending packets with trimmed UDP length to the wire. syzbot's stack trace (with my patch applied): len >= 65536u WARNING: ./include/linux/udp.h:38 at udp_set_len_short include/linux/udp.h:38 [inline], CPU#1: syz.0.17/5957 WARNING: ./include/linux/udp.h:38 at l2tp_xmit_core net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1293 [inline], CPU#1: syz.0.17/5957 WARNING: ./include/linux/udp.h:38 at l2tp_xmit_skb+0x1204/0x18d0 net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1327, CPU#1: syz.0.17/5957 Modules linked in: CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 5957 Comm: syz.0.17 Not tainted syzkaller #0 PREEMPT(full) Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.2-debian-1.16.2-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:udp_set_len_short include/linux/udp.h:38 [inline] RIP: 0010:l2tp_xmit_core net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1293 [inline] RIP: 0010:l2tp_xmit_skb+0x1204/0x18d0 net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1327 Code: 0f 0b 90 e9 21 f9 ff ff e8 e9 05 ec f6 90 0f 0b 90 e9 8d f9 ff ff e8 db 05 ec f6 90 0f 0b 90 e9 cc f9 ff ff e8 cd 05 ec f6 90 <0f> 0b 90 e9 de fa ff ff 44 89 f1 80 e1 07 80 c1 03 38 c1 0f 8c 4f RSP: 0018:ffffc90003d67878 EFLAGS: 00010293 RAX: ffffffff8ad985e3 RBX: ffff8881a6400090 RCX: ffff8881697f0000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000034010 RDI: 000000000000ffff RBP: dffffc0000000000 R08: 0000000000000003 R09: 0000000000000004 R10: dffffc0000000000 R11: fffff520007acf00 R12: ffff8881baf20900 R13: 0000000000034010 R14: ffff8881a640008e R15: ffff8881760f7000 FS: 000055557e81f500(0000) GS:ffff8882a9467000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000200000033000 CR3: 00000001612f4000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 Call Trace: pppol2tp_sendmsg+0x40a/0x5f0 net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c:302 sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:727 [inline] __sock_sendmsg net/socket.c:742 [inline] sock_write_iter+0x503/0x550 net/socket.c:1195 do_iter_readv_writev+0x619/0x8c0 fs/read_write.c:-1 vfs_writev+0x33c/0x990 fs/read_write.c:1059 do_writev+0x154/0x2e0 fs/read_write.c:1105 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x14d/0xf80 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f RIP: 0033:0x7f636479c629 Code: ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 89 f8 48 89 f7 48 89 d6 48 89 ca 4d 89 c2 4d 89 c8 4c 8b 4c 24 08 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 c7 c1 e8 ff ff ff f7 d8 64 89 01 48 RSP: 002b:00007ffffd4241c8 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000014 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007f6364a15fa0 RCX: 00007f636479c629 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000200000000080 RDI: 0000000000000003 RBP: 00007f6364832b39 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 00007f6364a15fac R14: 00007f6364a15fa0 R15: 00007f6364a15fa0 [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260226201600.222044-1-alice.kernel@fastmail.im/ Fixes: 3557baabf280 ("[L2TP]: PPP over L2TP driver core") Reported-by: syzbot+ci3edea60a44225dec@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/69a1dfba.050a0220.3a55be.0026.GAE@google.com/ Signed-off-by: Alice Mikityanska Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260403174949.843941-1-alice.kernel@fastmail.im Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

ipv6: replace ipcm6_init calls with ipcm6_init_sk

commit 096208592b09c2f5fc0c1a174694efa41c04209d upstream. This initializes tclass and dontfrag before cmsg parsing, removing the need for explicit checks against -1 in each caller. Leave hlimit set to -1, because its full initialization (in ip6_sk_dst_hoplimit) requires more state (dst, flowi6, ..). This also prepares for calling sockcm_init in a follow-on patch.

net/l2tp: fix warning in l2tp_exit_net found by syzbot

2024-12-05T13:02:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5d066766c5f1252f98ff859265bcd1a5b52ac46c ] In l2tp's net exit handler, we check that an IDR is empty before destroying it: WARN_ON_ONCE(!idr_is_empty(&pn->l2tp_tunnel_idr)); idr_destroy(&pn->l2tp_tunnel_idr); By forcing memory allocation failures in idr_alloc_32, syzbot is able to provoke a condition where idr_is_empty returns false despite there being no items in the IDR. This turns out to be because the radix tree of the IDR contains only internal radix-tree nodes and it is this that causes idr_is_empty to return false. The internal nodes are cleaned by idr_destroy. Use idr_for_each to check that the IDR is empty instead of idr_is_empty to avoid the problem.

genetlink: hold RCU in genlmsg_mcast()

While running net selftests with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y I saw one lockdep splat [1]. genlmsg_mcast() uses for_each_net_rcu(), and must therefore hold RCU. Instead of letting all callers guard genlmsg_multicast_allns() with a rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair, do it in genlmsg_mcast().

l2tp: remove unneeded null check in l2tp_v2_session_get_next

2024-09-04T23:39:32+00:00

Commit aa92c1cec92b ("l2tp: add tunnel/session get_next helpers") uses idr_get_next APIs to iterate over l2tp session IDR lists. Sessions in l2tp_v2_session_idr always have a non-null session->tunnel pointer since l2tp_session_register sets it before inserting the session into the IDR. Therefore the null check on session->tunnel in l2tp_v2_session_get_next is redundant and can be removed. Removing the check avoids a warning from lkp.

l2tp: avoid using drain_workqueue in l2tp_pre_exit_net

2024-08-27T20:37:22+00:00

Recent commit fc7ec7f554d7 ("l2tp: delete sessions using work queue") incorrectly uses drain_workqueue. The use of drain_workqueue in l2tp_pre_exit_net is flawed because the workqueue is shared by all nets and it is therefore possible for new work items to be queued for other nets while drain_workqueue runs. Instead of using drain_workqueue, use __flush_workqueue twice. The first one will run all tunnel delete work items and any work already queued. When tunnel delete work items are run, they may queue new session delete work items, which the second __flush_workqueue will run. In l2tp_exit_net, warn if any of the net's idr lists are not empty.
