net/tls: Consume empty data records in tls_sw_read_sock()

2026-07-24T14:16:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3be28e2c9cd0230cb51fd4967df095273afd3848 ] A peer may send a zero-length TLS application_data record; TLS 1.3 explicitly permits these as a traffic-analysis countermeasure (RFC 8446, Section 5.1). After decryption such a record has full_len == 0. tls_sw_read_sock() hands it to the read_actor, which has no payload to consume and returns zero. The loop treats a zero return as backpressure (used <= 0), requeues the skb at the head of rx_list, and stops. rx_list is serviced head-first on the next call, so the empty record is dequeued, fails the same way, and is requeued again; every later record on the connection is blocked behind it. tls_sw_recvmsg() does not stall on this: a zero-length data record copies nothing and falls through to consume_skb(). Mirror that in the read_sock() path by recognizing an empty data record before the actor runs, consuming it, and continuing.

net: skmsg: preserve sg.copy across SG transforms

2026-07-04T11:44:17+00:00

commit 406e8a651a7b854c41fecd5117bb282b3a6c2c6b upstream. The sk_msg sg.copy bitmap is part of the scatterlist entry ownership state. A set bit tells sk_msg_compute_data_pointers() not to expose the entry through writable BPF ctx->data. This protects entries backed by pages that are not private to the sk_msg, such as splice-backed file page-cache pages. Several sk_msg transform paths move, copy, split, or compact msg->sg.data[] entries without moving the matching sg.copy bit. This can make an externally backed entry arrive at a new slot with a clear copy bit. A later SK_MSG verdict can then expose sg_virt(sge) as writable ctx->data and BPF stores can modify the original page cache. Keep sg.copy synchronized with sg.data[] whenever entries are transferred, shifted, split, or copied into a new sk_msg. Clear the bit when an entry is replaced by a newly allocated private page or freed. This covers the BPF pull/push/pop helpers, sk_msg_shift_left/right(), sk_msg_xfer(), and tls_split_open_record(), including the partial tail entry created during TLS open-record splitting.

tls: Preserve sk_err across recvmsg() when data has been copied

2026-06-01T15:51:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit f508262ae9f21fe0e6c0749948b9dc7dd5a62a70 ] The sk_err check in tls_rx_rec_wait() consumes the error via sock_error(), which clears sk_err atomically. When the caller (tls_sw_recvmsg, tls_sw_splice_read, or tls_sw_read_sock) already has bytes copied to userspace, it returns those bytes and discards the error from this call. sk_err is now zero on the socket, so the next read syscall observes only RCV_SHUTDOWN and reports a clean EOF instead of the actual error (typically -ECONNRESET). The race is reachable when tls_read_flush_backlog()'s periodic sk_flush_backlog() triggers tcp_reset() in the middle of a multi-record read. Pass a has_copied flag to tls_rx_rec_wait(). When has_copied is false, consume sk_err via sock_error() as before. When has_copied is true, report the error from READ_ONCE() but leave sk_err set: the caller returns the byte count and discards the err from this call, and the next read syscall surfaces the preserved sk_err. This mirrors the tcp_recvmsg() preserve-and-surface pattern. The decrypt-abort path is unaffected: tls_err_abort() raises sk_err to EBADMSG after tls_rx_rec_wait() returns, and nothing on the caller's return path consumes it, so the EBADMSG surfaces on the next read. tls_sw_splice_read() passes has_copied=false: it processes one record per call, so no bytes have been copied within the function when tls_rx_rec_wait() runs. A reset that arrives between iterations of splice_direct_to_actor() (the sendfile() path) is still consumed by sock_error() in the later call, and the outer loop returns the prior iterations' byte count and drops the error. tcp_splice_read() exhibits the same pattern at the iteration boundary; addressing it belongs at the splice_direct_to_actor() layer and is out of scope here.

net: tls: prevent chain-after-chain in plain text SG

2026-06-01T15:51:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit ff26a0e8377dec07e4a7230db7675bed1b9a6d03 ] Sashiko points out that if end = 0 (start != 0) the current code will create a chain link to content type right after the wrap link: This would create a chain where the wrap link points directly to another chain link. The scatterlist API sg_next iterator does not recursively resolve consecutive chain links. meaning this is illegal input to crypto. The wrapping link is unnecessary if end = 0. end is the entry after the last one used so end = 0 means there's nothing pushed after the wrap: end start i v v v [ ]...[ ][ d ][ d ][ d ][ d ][rsv for wrap] Skip the wrapping in this case. TLS 1.3 can use the "wrapping slot" for it's chaining if end = 0. This avoids the chain-after-chain. Move the wrap chaining before marking END and chaining off content type, that feels like more logical ordering to me, but should not matter from functional perspective.

net: tls: fix off-by-one in sg_chain entry count for wrapped sk_msg ring

2026-06-01T15:51:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 285943c6e7ca309bbea84b253745154241d9788a ] When an sk_msg scatterlist ring wraps (sg.end < sg.start), tls_push_record() chains the tail portion of the ring to the head using sg_chain(). An extra entry in the sg array is reserved for this: struct sk_msg_sg { [...] /* The extra two elements: * 1) used for chaining the front and sections when the list becomes * partitioned (e.g. end < start). The crypto APIs require the * chaining; * 2) to chain tailer SG entries after the message. */ struct scatterlist data[MAX_MSG_FRAGS + 2]; The current code uses MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 as the ring size: sg_chain(&msg_pl->sg.data[msg_pl->sg.start], MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_pl->sg.start + 1, msg_pl->sg.data); This places the chain pointer at sg_chain(data[start], (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_start + 1) .. = &data[start] + (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_start + 1) - 1 = data[start + (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - start + 1) - 1] = data[MAX_SKB_FRAGS] instead of the true last entry. This is likely due to a "race" of the commit under Fixes landing close to commit 031097d9e079 ("bpf: sk_msg, zap ingress queue on psock down") Convert to ARRAY_SIZE and drop the data[start] / - start (as suggested by Sabrina).

net: tls: fix strparser anchor skb leak on offload RX setup failure

2026-05-23T11:07:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 58689498ca3384851145a754dbb1d8ed1cf9fb54 ] When tls_set_device_offload_rx() fails at tls_dev_add(), the error path calls tls_sw_free_resources_rx() to clean up the SW context that was initialized by tls_set_sw_offload(). This function calls tls_sw_release_resources_rx() (which stops the strparser via tls_strp_stop()) and tls_sw_free_ctx_rx() (which kfrees the context), but never frees the anchor skb that was allocated by alloc_skb(0) in tls_strp_init(). Note that tls_sw_free_resources_rx() is exclusively used for this "failed to start offload" code path, there's no other caller. The leak did not exist before commit 84c61fe1a75b ("tls: rx: do not use the standard strparser"), because the standard strparser doesn't try to pre-allocate an skb. The normal close path in tls_sk_proto_close() handles cleanup by calling tls_sw_strparser_done() (which calls tls_strp_done()) after dropping the socket lock, because tls_strp_done() does cancel_work_sync() and the strparser work handler takes the socket lock.

net/tls: fix use-after-free in -EBUSY error path of tls_do_encryption

2026-04-18T08:44:59+00:00

commit a9b8b18364fffce4c451e6f6fd218fa4ab646705 upstream. The -EBUSY handling in tls_do_encryption(), introduced by commit 859054147318 ("net: tls: handle backlogging of crypto requests"), has a use-after-free due to double cleanup of encrypt_pending and the scatterlist entry. When crypto_aead_encrypt() returns -EBUSY, the request is enqueued to the cryptd backlog and the async callback tls_encrypt_done() will be invoked upon completion. That callback unconditionally restores the scatterlist entry (sge->offset, sge->length) and decrements ctx->encrypt_pending. However, if tls_encrypt_async_wait() returns an error, the synchronous error path in tls_do_encryption() performs the same cleanup again, double-decrementing encrypt_pending and double-restoring the scatterlist. The double-decrement corrupts the encrypt_pending sentinel (initialized to 1), making tls_encrypt_async_wait() permanently skip the wait for pending async callbacks. A subsequent sendmsg can then free the tls_rec via bpf_exec_tx_verdict() while a cryptd callback is still pending, resulting in a use-after-free when the callback fires on the freed record. Fix this by skipping the synchronous cleanup when the -EBUSY async wait returns an error, since the callback has already handled encrypt_pending and sge restoration.

tls: Purge async_hold in tls_decrypt_async_wait()

2026-04-02T11:23:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 84a8335d8300576f1b377ae24abca1d9f197807f ] The async_hold queue pins encrypted input skbs while the AEAD engine references their scatterlist data. Once tls_decrypt_async_wait() returns, every AEAD operation has completed and the engine no longer references those skbs, so they can be freed unconditionally. A subsequent patch adds batch async decryption to tls_sw_read_sock(), introducing a new call site that must drain pending AEAD operations and release held skbs. Move __skb_queue_purge(&ctx->async_hold) into tls_decrypt_async_wait() so the purge is centralized and every caller -- recvmsg's drain path, the -EBUSY fallback in tls_do_decryption(), and the new read_sock batch path -- releases held skbs on synchronization without each site managing the purge independently. This fixes a leak when tls_strp_msg_hold() fails part-way through, after having added some cloned skbs to the async_hold queue. tls_decrypt_sg() will then call tls_decrypt_async_wait() to process all pending decrypts, and drop back to synchronous mode, but tls_sw_recvmsg() only flushes the async_hold queue when one record has been processed in "fully-async" mode, which may not be the case here.

tls: Fix race condition in tls_sw_cancel_work_tx()

[ Upstream commit 7bb09315f93dce6acc54bf59e5a95ba7365c2be4 ] This issue was discovered during a code audit.

As a result, the tx_work_handler() worker may dereference a freed TLS object. The following is a simple race scenario: cpu0 cpu1 tls_sk_proto_close() tls_sw_cancel_work_tx() tls_write_space() tls_sw_write_space() if (!test_and_set_bit(BIT_TX_SCHEDULED, &tx_ctx->tx_bitmask)) set_bit(BIT_TX_SCHEDULED, &ctx->tx_bitmask); cancel_delayed_work_sync(&ctx->tx_work.work); schedule_delayed_work(&tx_ctx->tx_work.work, 0); To prevent this race condition, cancel_delayed_work_sync() is replaced with disable_delayed_work_sync().
