tipc: fix RCU dereference race in tipc_aead_users_dec()

2026-03-04T12:21:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6a65c0cb0ff20b3cbc5f1c87b37dd22cdde14a1c ] tipc_aead_users_dec() calls rcu_dereference(aead) twice: once to store in 'tmp' for the NULL check, and again inside the atomic_add_unless() call. Use the already-dereferenced 'tmp' pointer consistently, matching the correct pattern used in tipc_aead_users_inc() and tipc_aead_users_set().

tipc: use kfree_sensitive() for session key material

2026-02-11T12:40:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 74d9391e8849e70ded5309222d09b0ed0edbd039 ] The rx->skey field contains a struct tipc_aead_key with GCM-AES encryption keys used for TIPC cluster communication. Using plain kfree() leaves this sensitive key material in freed memory pages where it could potentially be recovered. Switch to kfree_sensitive() to ensure the key material is zeroed before the memory is freed.

tipc: use kfree_sensitive() for aead cleanup

2025-06-27T10:11:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit c8ef20fe7274c5766a317f9193b70bed717b6b3d ] The tipc_aead_free() function currently uses kfree() to release the aead structure. However, this structure contains sensitive information, such as key's SALT value, which should be securely erased from memory to prevent potential leakage. To enhance security, replace kfree() with kfree_sensitive() when freeing the aead structure. This change ensures that sensitive data is explicitly cleared before memory deallocation, aligning with the approach used in tipc_aead_init() and adhering to best practices for handling confidential information.

net: tipc: fix refcount warning in tipc_aead_encrypt

2025-06-19T13:32:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit f29ccaa07cf3d35990f4d25028cc55470d29372b ] syzbot reported a refcount warning [1] caused by calling get_net() on a network namespace that is being destroyed (refcount=0). This happens when a TIPC discovery timer fires during network namespace cleanup. The recently added get_net() call in commit e279024617134 ("net/tipc: fix slab-use-after-free Read in tipc_aead_encrypt_done") attempts to hold a reference to the network namespace. However, if the namespace is already being destroyed, its refcount might be zero, leading to the use-after-free warning. Replace get_net() with maybe_get_net(), which safely checks if the refcount is non-zero before incrementing it. If the namespace is being destroyed, return -ENODEV early, after releasing the bearer reference.

tipc: fix a potential deadlock on &tx->lock

2023-10-04T20:24:12+00:00

It seems that tipc_crypto_key_revoke() could be be invoked by wokequeue tipc_crypto_work_rx() under process context and timer/rx callback under softirq context, thus the lock acquisition on &tx->lock seems better use spin_lock_bh() to prevent possible deadlock.
