net: fix fanout UAF in packet_release() via NETDEV_UP race

2026-04-02T11:07:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 42156f93d123436f2a27c468f18c966b7e5db796 ] `packet_release()` has a race window where `NETDEV_UP` can re-register a socket into a fanout group's `arr[]` array. The re-registration is not cleaned up by `fanout_release()`, leaving a dangling pointer in the fanout array. `packet_release()` does NOT zero `po->num` in its `bind_lock` section. After releasing `bind_lock`, `po->num` is still non-zero and `po->ifindex` still matches the bound device. A concurrent `packet_notifier(NETDEV_UP)` that already found the socket in `sklist` can re-register the hook. For fanout sockets, this re-registration calls `__fanout_link(sk, po)` which adds the socket back into `f->arr[]` and increments `f->num_members`, but does NOT increment `f->sk_ref`. The fix sets `po->num` to zero in `packet_release` while `bind_lock` is held to prevent NETDEV_UP from linking, preventing the race window. This bug was found following an additional audit with Claude Code based on CVE-2025-38617.

net/packet: fix a race in packet_set_ring() and packet_notifier()

2025-08-15T10:09:05+00:00

commit 01d3c8417b9c1b884a8a981a3b886da556512f36 upstream. When packet_set_ring() releases po->bind_lock, another thread can run packet_notifier() and process an NETDEV_UP event. This race and the fix are both similar to that of commit 15fe076edea7 ("net/packet: fix a race in packet_bind() and packet_notifier()"). There too the packet_notifier NETDEV_UP event managed to run while a po->bind_lock critical section had to be temporarily released. And the fix was similarly to temporarily set po->num to zero to keep the socket unhooked until the lock is retaken. The po->bind_lock in packet_set_ring and packet_notifier precede the introduction of git history.

af_packet: fix soft lockup issue caused by tpacket_snd()

2025-07-24T06:53:13+00:00

commit 55f0bfc0370539213202f4ce1a07615327ac4713 upstream. When MSG_DONTWAIT is not set, the tpacket_snd operation will wait for pending_refcnt to decrement to zero before returning. The pending_refcnt is decremented by 1 when the skb->destructor function is called, indicating that the skb has been successfully sent and needs to be destroyed. If an error occurs during this process, the tpacket_snd() function will exit and return error, but pending_refcnt may not yet have decremented to zero. Assuming the next send operation is executed immediately, but there are no available frames to be sent in tx_ring (i.e., packet_current_frame returns NULL), and skb is also NULL, the function will not execute wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() to yield the CPU. Instead, it will enter a do-while loop, waiting for pending_refcnt to be zero. Even if the previous skb has completed transmission, the skb->destructor function can only be invoked in the ksoftirqd thread (assuming NAPI threading is enabled). When both the ksoftirqd thread and the tpacket_snd operation happen to run on the same CPU, and the CPU trapped in the do-while loop without yielding, the ksoftirqd thread will not get scheduled to run. As a result, pending_refcnt will never be reduced to zero, and the do-while loop cannot exit, eventually leading to a CPU soft lockup issue. In fact, skb is true for all but the first iterations of that loop, and as long as pending_refcnt is not zero, even if incremented by a previous call, wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() should be executed to yield the CPU, allowing the ksoftirqd thread to be scheduled. Therefore, the execution condition of this function should be modified to check if pending_refcnt is not zero, instead of check skb. - if (need_wait && skb) { + if (need_wait && packet_read_pending(&po->tx_ring)) { As a result, the judgment conditions are duplicated with the end code of the while loop, and packet_read_pending() is a very expensive function. Actually, this loop can only exit when ph is NULL, so the loop condition can be changed to while (1), and in the "ph = NULL" branch, if the subsequent condition of if is not met, the loop can break directly. Now, the loop logic remains the same as origin but is clearer and more obvious.

af_packet: fix the SO_SNDTIMEO constraint not effective on tpacked_snd()

2025-07-24T06:53:13+00:00

commit c1ba3c0cbdb5e53a8ec5d708e99cd4c497028a13 upstream. Due to the changes in commit 581073f626e3 ("af_packet: do not call packet_read_pending() from tpacket_destruct_skb()"), every time tpacket_destruct_skb() is executed, the skb_completion is marked as completed. When wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() returns completed, the pending_refcnt has not yet been reduced to zero. Therefore, when ph is NULL, the wait function may need to be called multiple times until packet_read_pending() finally returns zero. We should call sock_sndtimeo() only once, otherwise the SO_SNDTIMEO constraint could be way off.

af_packet: Handle outgoing VLAN packets without hardware offloading

2024-08-03T06:54:13+00:00

commit 79eecf631c14e7f4057186570ac20e2cfac3802e upstream. The issue initially stems from libpcap. The ethertype will be overwritten as the VLAN TPID if the network interface lacks hardware VLAN offloading. In the outbound packet path, if hardware VLAN offloading is unavailable, the VLAN tag is inserted into the payload but then cleared from the sk_buff struct. Consequently, this can lead to a false negative when checking for the presence of a VLAN tag, causing the packet sniffing outcome to lack VLAN tag information (i.e., TCI-TPID). As a result, the packet capturing tool may be unable to parse packets as expected. The TCI-TPID is missing because the prb_fill_vlan_info() function does not modify the tp_vlan_tci/tp_vlan_tpid values, as the information is in the payload and not in the sk_buff struct. The skb_vlan_tag_present() function only checks vlan_all in the sk_buff struct. In cooked mode, the L2 header is stripped, preventing the packet capturing tool from determining the correct TCI-TPID value. Additionally, the protocol in SLL is incorrect, which means the packet capturing tool cannot parse the L3 header correctly.
