tipc: fix infinite loop in __tipc_nl_compat_dumpit

2026-08-03T09:15:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 22f8aa35964e8f2ab026578f45befc9605fd1b28 ] cmd->dumpit callback can return a negative errno, causing an infinite loop due to the while(len) condition. As the loop never terminates, genl_mutex is never released, and other tasks waiting on it starve in D state. Check dumpit's return value, propagate it and jump to err_out on error.

This size is calculated with TLV_SPACE() macro. It adds the size of struct tlv_desc and the length of TLV value passed as an argument, and aligns the result to a multiple of TLV_ALIGNTO, i.e., a multiple of 4 bytes. If the size of struct tlv_desc plus the length of TLV value is not aligned, the current implementation leaves the remaining bytes uninitialized. This is the cause of the above kernel-infoleak issue. This patch resolves this issue by clearing data up to an aligned size.

genetlink: remove userhdr from struct genl_info

2023-08-15T21:54:44+00:00

Only three families use info->userhdr today and going forward we discourage using fixed headers in new families. So having the pointer to user header in struct genl_info is an overkill. Compute the header pointer at runtime.

genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes

2022-08-29T11:47:15+00:00

We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious bytes in the future. One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands for some core families. To make sure that new families do the right thing by default put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.
