sctp: validate stream count in sctp_process_strreset_inreq()

2026-08-03T09:15:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 18ae07691d43183d270de8be9dc8e027906015d9 ] When processing a RESET_IN_REQUEST from a peer, sctp_process_strreset_inreq() derives the stream count from the parameter length but does not check whether the resulting RESET_OUT_REQUEST would exceed SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN. The OUT request header (sctp_strreset_outreq, 16 bytes) is 8 bytes larger than the IN request header (sctp_strreset_inreq, 8 bytes). Generally, the IP payload is bounded to 65535 bytes, so the stream list cannot be large enough to trigger the overflow. However, on interfaces with MTU > 65535 (e.g., loopback with IPv6 jumbograms), a stream list that fits within the incoming IN parameter can cause a __u16 overflow in sctp_make_strreset_req() when computing the OUT request size, leading to an undersized skb allocation and a kernel BUG: net/core/skbuff.c:207 skb_panic net/core/skbuff.c:2625 skb_put net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:1535 sctp_addto_chunk net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:3695 sctp_make_strreset_req net/sctp/stream.c:655 sctp_process_strreset_inreq The local setsockopt path validates the generated reset request size. However, for an incoming-only reset, it accounts for the smaller IN request even though the peer must generate an OUT request with the same stream list. Such a request cannot be completed successfully by the peer. Reject peer IN requests whose corresponding OUT request would exceed SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN. Also tighten the local check so it does not send an IN request that would require an oversized OUT request from the peer.

sctp: stream: fully roll back denied add-stream state

2026-06-19T11:39:36+00:00

commit a5f8a90ac9f77c678a9781c0a464b635e0d63e49 upstream. When ADD_OUT_STREAMS is denied, SCTP only shrinks the queued chunks and then lowers outcnt. That leaves removed stream metadata behind, so a later re-add can reuse a stale ext and hit a null-pointer dereference in the scheduler get path. Fix the rollback by tearing down the removed stream state the same way other stream resizes do. Unschedule the current scheduler state, drop the removed stream ext state with sctp_stream_outq_migrate(), and then reschedule the remaining streams. This keeps scheduler-private RR/FC/PRIO lists consistent while fully rolling back denied outgoing stream additions.

sctp: Fix undefined behavior in left shift operation

2025-03-22T19:50:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit 606572eb22c1786a3957d24307f5760bb058ca19 ] According to the C11 standard (ISO/IEC 9899:2011, 6.5.7): "If E1 has a signed type and E1 x 2^E2 is not representable in the result type, the behavior is undefined." Shifting 1 << 31 causes signed integer overflow, which leads to undefined behavior. Fix this by explicitly using '1U << 31' to ensure the shift operates on an unsigned type, avoiding undefined behavior.

sctp: fix memory leak in sctp_stream_outq_migrate()

sctp: leave the err path free in sctp_stream_init to sctp_stream_free

2022-07-28T01:23:22+00:00

A NULL pointer dereference was reported by Wei Chen: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x26/0x80 Call Trace: sctp_sched_dequeue_common+0x1c/0x90 sctp_sched_prio_dequeue+0x67/0x80 __sctp_outq_teardown+0x299/0x380 sctp_outq_free+0x15/0x20 sctp_association_free+0xc3/0x440 sctp_do_sm+0x1ca7/0x2210 sctp_assoc_bh_rcv+0x1f6/0x340 This happens when calling sctp_sendmsg without connecting to server first. In this case, a data chunk already queues up in send queue of client side when processing the INIT_ACK from server in sctp_process_init() where it calls sctp_stream_init() to alloc stream_in. If it fails to alloc stream_in all stream_out will be freed in sctp_stream_init's err path. Then in the asoc freeing it will crash when dequeuing this data chunk as stream_out is missing. As we can't free stream out before dequeuing all data from send queue, and this patch is to fix it by moving the err path stream_out/in freeing in sctp_stream_init() to sctp_stream_free() which is eventually called when freeing the asoc in sctp_association_free(). This fix also makes the code in sctp_process_init() more clear. Note that in sctp_association_init() when it fails in sctp_stream_init(), sctp_association_free() will not be called, and in that case it should go to 'stream_free' err path to free stream instead of 'fail_init'.

sctp: shrink stream outq when fails to do addstream reconf

2020-07-23T01:00:12+00:00

When adding a stream with stream reconf, the new stream firstly is in CLOSED state but new out chunks can still be enqueued. Then once gets the confirmation from the peer, the state will change to OPEN. However, if the peer denies, it needs to roll back the stream. But when doing that, it only sets the stream outcnt back, and the chunks already in the new stream don't get purged. It caused these chunks can still be dequeued in sctp_outq_dequeue_data(). As its stream is still in CLOSE, the chunk will be enqueued to the head again by sctp_outq_head_data(). This chunk will never be sent out, and the chunks after it can never be dequeued. The assoc will be 'hung' in a dead loop of sending this chunk. To fix it, this patch is to purge these chunks already in the new stream by calling sctp_stream_shrink_out() when failing to do the addstream reconf.

sctp: shrink stream outq only when new outcnt < old outcnt

2020-07-23T01:00:12+00:00

It's not necessary to go list_for_each for outq->out_chunk_list when new outcnt >= old outcnt, as no chunk with higher sid than new (outcnt - 1) exists in the outqueue.
