inet: frags: strip GSO state from fragments before reassembly

2026-08-28T06:19:55+00:00

commit d5dc1e69fd7258ea605c9952e5d5947539159ae3 upstream. A virtio_net_hdr (tun/tap, or AF_PACKET with PACKET_VNET_HDR) can mark an IPv4 or IPv6 fragment as GSO; nothing relates gso_type to frag_off. inet_frag_reasm_prepare()/inet_frag_reasm_finish() keep the first fragment's skb as the head of the reassembled datagram, including its shinfo->gso_size/gso_type/gso_segs, and chain the remaining fragments on frag_list with whatever linear/paged layout they arrived with. After ip_defrag() (ip_local_deliver(), nf_defrag_ipv4, ...) the reassembled skb therefore still claims to be GSO (SKB_GSO_DODGY), and the next software segmentation point - udp_rcv_segment() on local delivery, validate_xmit_skb(), or the ip_finish_output_gso() slow path - hands it to skb_segment(). skb_segment()'s frag_list walk assumes GRO-shaped input and hits one of its BUG_ON()s. Two writes to a tap by an unprivileged user in its own userns are enough: kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:4899!

The same is reachable with CAP_NET_RAW in a netns where a defrag point precedes a GSO point, and from a guest whose VMM forwards virtio_net_hdr to a tap. The SKB_GSO_DODGY frag_list checks added by commit 3dcbdb134f32 ("net: gso: Fix skb_segment splat when splitting gso_size mangled skb having linear-headed frag_list") and by commit 9e4b7a99a03a ("net: gso: fix panic on frag_list with mixed head alloc types") do not cover it: page-backed heads skip them, and kmalloc heads skip them when gso_size == skb_headlen(head), which the sender controls. An skb entering a frag queue is an IP fragment by definition and cannot legitimately carry GSO state: GRO does not merge fragments and the stack segments before it fragments, so only untrusted sources are affected. This has been reachable since commit f43798c27684 ("tun: Allow GSO using virtio_net_hdr"), the first path that let userspace attach GSO metadata to an IP fragment. Reset the GSO fields of every fragment as it is queued, in inet_frag_queue_insert(), which IPv4, IPv6, nf_conntrack_reasm and 6lowpan reassembly share; then neither the head nor the frag_list members of the reassembled skb carry them (the members matter too: the ip_do_fragment()/ip6_fragment() fast paths send them out as they are). The head may remain CHECKSUM_PARTIAL; that is already accepted on receive and resolved by skb_checksum_help() in ip_do_fragment()/ip6_fragment() on forward. Tested on top of net.git (dc4b95b8fee9), x86_64: the tap reproducer above, two further IPv4 frag_list geometries that reach BUG_ON(i >= nfrags) and BUG_ON(!list_skb->head_frag), and an IPv6 fragment-header variant (udp6_ufo_fragment()) each panic the unpatched kernel; with this patch all four datagrams are delivered intact and nothing is logged.

can: isotp: fix timer drain order, wakeup handling and tx_gen ordering

2026-08-27T12:27:36+00:00

commit 050f010f920da17c1044a4f174766ad553e770b6 upstream. This patch is a follow-up to commit cf070fe33bfb ("can: isotp: serialize TX state transitions under so->rx_lock") which addresses following sashiko-bot findings: - isotp_sendmsg(): drain so->txfrtimer first so a stale callback can't re-arm echotimer after the claim - isotp_release(): wake so->wait after forcing ISOTP_SHUTDOWN so a sleeping sendmsg() claim isn't stranded - isotp_sendmsg(): have both wait_event_interruptible() calls in isotp_sendmsg() also wake on ISOTP_SHUTDOWN and do not return claim to IDLE to avoid corrupting a concurrent isotp_release() process. - isotp_sendmsg(): handle potential claim of a new transfer when the wait_event_interruptible() call returns in CAN_ISOTP_WAIT_TX_DONE mode. Don't touch timers and states of the new transfer if a new thread incremented so->tx_gen before getting the lock at err_event_drop. - isotp_sendmsg(): handle a stuck can_send() and omit timer and state changes if a new transfer was claimed. wait_tx_done() returns the error recorded in so->tx_result[], tagged with the caller's own generation. - isotp_tx_timeout(): on a claimed timeout, record the ECOMM error for the timed-out transfer's own generation in so->tx_result[]; sk->sk_err is raised unconditionally, same as every other error path here. - isotp_tx_gen_done()/isotp_tx_timeout(): always read tx.state (acquire) before tx_gen - the reverse order let a weakly ordered CPU pair a fresh tx.state with a stale tx_gen/tx_result slot. - isotp_sendmsg(): wait_tx_done: drain sk_err via sock_error() once we have read the result from so->tx_result[], so an already-reported error doesn't stay latched for a later poll()/SO_ERROR. Also align the remaining lock-free so->tx.state/rx.state/cfecho accesses and use skb->hash as unique loopback echo frame indicator.

can: use skb hash instead of private variable in headroom

commit d4fb6514ff8ed6912a71294e6b66a5d59ee88007 upstream. The can_skb_priv::skbcnt variable is used to identify CAN skbs in the RX path analogue to the skb->hash. As the skb hash is not filled in CAN skbs move the private skbcnt value to skb->hash and set skb->sw_hash accordingly. The skb->hash is a value used for RPS to identify skbs. Use it as intended.

xfrm: fix sk_dst_cache double-free in xfrm_user_policy()

2026-08-27T12:27:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit c283e9ada7fcb7dd4b10592623086b2e6d2f9925 ] xfrm_user_policy() clears the socket dst cache with __sk_dst_reset(), i.e. the non-atomic __sk_dst_set(sk, NULL): it reads sk_dst_cache with rcu_dereference_protected(), stores NULL and dst_release()s the old dst. That is only safe if no other thread modifies sk_dst_cache concurrently. For a connected UDP socket that does not hold: the transmit fast path (udp_sendmsg -> sk_dst_check -> sk_dst_reset) resets the cache locklessly with an atomic xchg(). A per-socket policy change racing a send can make both sides observe the same old dst and each dst_release() it, dropping the socket's single reference twice and freeing the xfrm_dst bundle while it is still referenced: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in dst_release Write of size 4 at addr ffff88801897b6c0 by task exploit/155 Call Trace: ... dst_release (... ./include/linux/rcuref.h:109) xfrm_user_policy (./include/net/sock.h:2239 ./include/net/sock.h:2256 net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c:3053) do_ip_setsockopt (net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c:1347) ip_setsockopt (net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c:1417) do_sock_setsockopt (net/socket.c:2368) __sys_setsockopt (net/socket.c:2393) __x64_sys_setsockopt (net/socket.c:2396) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121) Reachable by an unprivileged user via a user+network namespace.

libceph: fix OOB read in decode_watchers() via missing bounds check

2026-08-27T12:27:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 00ead17c7de137a692edee59f2772e6af687e8eb ] ceph_start_decoding() validates that struct_len bytes remain in the buffer after the encoding header, but accepts struct_len=0 as valid: ceph_decode_need(p, end, 0, bad) always passes. When a malicious or compromised OSD sends an obj_list_watch_response_t reply with struct_len=0, ceph_start_decoding() returns success with p == end, leaving zero bytes guaranteed for subsequent reads. The immediately following ceph_decode_32(p) in decode_watchers() has no preceding bounds check. With p == end this is a 4-byte read past the validated buffer boundary. The garbage value is then passed directly to kzalloc_objs() as the watcher count. The sibling function decode_watcher() already uses the safe variants (ceph_decode_copy_safe, ceph_decode_64_safe, ceph_decode_skip_32) after its own ceph_start_decoding() call. decode_watchers() is the only site that uses the bare variant, confirming an oversight. Fix by replacing ceph_decode_32(p) with ceph_decode_32_safe(p, end, *num_watchers, bad), consistent with the established pattern. Attacker model: a malicious or compromised OSD in a multi-tenant Ceph deployment (e.g. cloud) can trigger this against any kernel client that calls CEPH_OSD_OP_LIST_WATCHERS, without any further privileges beyond OSD session establishment.

ipv6: fix use-after-free in ip6_finish_output2()

2026-08-27T12:27:35+00:00

commit d0d48d999b0eee6bb176ef4e39d9be868fa80f7e upstream. ip6_finish_output2() caches a pointer to the IPv6 destination address (daddr) before invoking lwtunnel_xmit(). The LWT-BPF transmit path or other encapsulation operations within lwtunnel_xmit() can reallocate the skb head, freeing the memory that daddr points to. When lwtunnel_xmit() returns LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE, the function continues to use the stale daddr pointer to compute the nexthop and to look up or create the neighbour entry. This results in a use-after-free read, which can leak sensitive kernel data, pollute the neighbour table with arbitrary values, misdirect traffic, or crash the system. Fix this by re-fetching the IPv6 header and the destination address pointer after lwtunnel_xmit() returns LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE, ensuring that the subsequent nexthop computation and neighbour lookup operate on valid memory.

ipv4: reject undersized MTUs in ip_do_fragment()

2026-08-27T12:27:35+00:00

commit c0726f0caf8c6b3208552949e17d23634a2f3129 upstream. ip_do_fragment() subtracts the IPv4 header length from the effective MTU and passes the resulting payload MTU to ip_frag_next(). If the effective MTU is smaller than hlen + 8, ip_frag_next() rounds the fragment payload length down to zero. The fragmentation state then never makes forward progress: state->left, state->ptr and state->offset stay unchanged while ip_do_fragment() keeps allocating and transmitting header-only fragments until the softlockup detector fires. This is reproducible with a route installed using "mtu lock 20", but it is also reproducible without route MTU lock, for example by forwarding a packet to a device whose MTU is 20. Fix it in ip_do_fragment() by rejecting mtu < hlen + 8 with -EMSGSIZE, matching the existing IPv6 fragmentation check.

nfc: nci: fix out-of-bounds write in nci_target_auto_activated()

2026-08-27T12:27:35+00:00

commit ac200079db50af81e6b04d058b33ec92901d8edd upstream. nci_target_auto_activated() appends a target to the fixed-size array ndev->targets[NCI_MAX_DISCOVERED_TARGETS] and increments ndev->n_targets without first checking the array is full; unlike its sibling nci_add_new_target(), which bails out when n_targets already equals NCI_MAX_DISCOVERED_TARGETS. ndev->n_targets is only cleared by nci_clear_target_list(), so an NFCC that repeatedly re-runs discovery (RF_DISCOVER_RSP, which re-enters NCI_DISCOVERY without clearing the target list) and reports an auto-activated target (RF_INTF_ACTIVATED_NTF) drives n_targets past the limit. The append then writes a struct nfc_target past the end of the array (a slab out-of-bounds write), and nfc_targets_found() goes on to walk the array with the inflated count: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in nci_add_new_protocol+0x94/0x2ac [nci] Write of size 2 at addr ffff0000c7299a18 by task kworker/u8:0/12 Workqueue: nfc0_nci_rx_wq nci_rx_work [nci] Call trace: nci_add_new_protocol+0x94/0x2ac [nci] nci_ntf_packet+0xddc/0x11a0 [nci] nci_rx_work+0x15c/0x1e0 [nci] process_one_work+0x2dc/0x500 worker_thread+0x240/0x460 kthread+0x1c0/0x1d0 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 The buggy address belongs to the cache kmalloc-2k of size 2048 The buggy address is located 1024 bytes to the right of allocated 1560-byte region [ffff0000c7299000, ffff0000c7299618) Guard nci_target_auto_activated() with the same check used by nci_add_new_target().

nfc: llcp: reject PDUs shorter than the LLCP header

2026-08-27T12:27:35+00:00

commit 95674f506c6376d6722a23144c9acd26609771ed upstream. Every LLCP PDU begins with a two-byte header (DSAP/SSAP + PTYPE), but the receive path never checked that a frame is at least LLCP_HEADER_SIZE bytes before parsing it. nfc_llcp_rx_skb() reads the header via nfc_llcp_ptype()/nfc_llcp_dsap()/ nfc_llcp_ssap(), which dereference pdu->data[0] and pdu->data[1], and a CONNECT or CC PDU then computes tlv_array_len = skb->len - LLCP_HEADER_SIZE; as a size_t and hands it to the TLV walk. When the frame is shorter than the header the subtraction wraps to a huge value and the walk runs far past the buffer, an out-of-bounds read. A nearby NFC device can reach this without authentication; LLCP link activation happens automatically after NFC-DEP. Guard the common receive choke point __nfc_llcp_recv(), shared by both the target (nfc_llcp_data_received()) and initiator (nfc_llcp_recv()) paths, so a short skb is dropped before the rx_work worker parses it. Use pskb_may_pull() rather than a skb->len test so the two header bytes are guaranteed to sit in the skb linear area even for a non-linear skb, matching how the sibling NCI and HCI receive paths validate their headers. Reproduced with a KFENCE out-of-bounds read via /dev/virtual_nci on linux-next. Found by 0sec automated security-research tooling (https://0sec.ai).
