[ Upstream commit 6fef032af0092ed5ccb767239a9ac1bc38c08a40 ]

l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb() returned l2cap_pi(sk)-&gt;chan after
release_sock(parent). Once the parent lock is dropped the newly
enqueued child socket sk is reachable via the accept queue, so another
task can accept and free it before the callback dereferences sk,
resulting in a use-after-free.

Rework the -&gt;new_connection() op so the core, rather than the callback,
owns the child channel's lifetime. The op now receives a pre-allocated
new_chan and returns an errno instead of allocating and returning a
channel. l2cap_new_connection() allocates the child channel and links
it into the conn list via __l2cap_chan_add() before invoking the
callback, so the conn-list reference keeps the channel alive once
release_sock(parent) exposes the socket to other tasks.

Channel configuration that was duplicated in l2cap_sock_init() and the
various new_connection callbacks is consolidated into
l2cap_chan_set_defaults(), which now inherits from the parent channel
when one is supplied.

<title>netfilter: nf_queue: pin bridge device while NFQUEUE holds fake dst</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c9c9b37f8c5505224e8d206184df3bb668ee00cf upstream.

The br_netfilter fake rtable is embedded in struct net_bridge and is
attached to bridged packets with skb_dst_set_noref(). If such a packet is
queued to NFQUEUE, __nf_queue() upgrades that fake dst with
skb_dst_force().

At that point the queued skb can hold a real dst reference after bridge
teardown has started. The problem is not that every bridged packet needs
its own dst reference. The problem is that NFQUEUE can keep the bridge
private fake dst alive after unregister begins.

Fix this by keeping the bridge fake dst model unchanged and pinning the
bridge master device only while the packet sits in NFQUEUE. Record the
bridge device in nf_queue_entry when the queued skb carries a bridge fake
dst, take a device reference for the queue lifetime, and drop it when the
queue entry is freed.

Also make sure queued entries are reaped when that bridge device goes
down, and drop the redundant nf_bridge_info_exists() test from the fake
dst detection.

This keeps netdev_priv(br-&gt;dev) alive until verdict completion, so the
embedded fake rtable and its metrics backing storage cannot be freed out
from under dst_release(). It also avoids the constant refcount bump and
avoids using ipv4-specific dst helpers for IPv6 bridge traffic.

[ Upstream commit bae7ce7bafb59e42dc0e0e2999fdd9d1cffe3866 ]

IPVS callers already parse the packet into struct ip_vs_iphdr before
updating connection state. For IPv6 this records the real
transport-header offset after extension headers in iph.len.

Pass this parsed transport offset through ip_vs_set_state() and the
protocol state_transition() callback so protocol handlers can use the
same packet context as scheduling and NAT handling. This patch only
changes the common callback plumbing and adapts the protocol callback
signatures; TCP and SCTP start using the value in follow-up patches.

[ Upstream commit 9b26518b6896a16b809b1e42986f4ebac7bccc1e ]

A race condition exists between device teardown and incoming MLD query
processing, leading to a Use-After-Free in the MLD delayed work.

During device destruction, the primary reference to inet6_dev is dropped,
which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of inet6_dev memory
is deferred via RCU.

Concurrently, the packet receive path runs under RCU read lock and obtains
the inet6_dev pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can
safely dereference inet6_dev even if its refcount has hit 0.

However, if CPU-0 calls igmp6_event_query() and schedules delayed work, it
attempts to acquire a reference using in6_dev_hold(). This increments the
refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning.
Since the inet6_dev memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU
grace period, the device is freed while the work is still scheduled.
When the work runs, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic.

Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper
in6_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is
already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not schedule the work.

[ Upstream commit 8b519cbcabe836a441369fbec1a8a6518a709251 ]

There is a TOCTOU race condition in flower lockless approach between sizing
a flow_rule buffer and filling it.
zdi-disclosures@trendmicro.com reports:
The cls_flower classifier operates with TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED
(fl_change runs without RTNL), while RTM_NEWACTION holds RTNL, so the
independent locking domains make the race reachable in practice.  KASAN
confirms:
  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in tcf_pedit_offload_act_setup+0x81b/0x930
  Write of size 4 at addr ffff888001f27520 by task poc-toctou/312
  The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
   allocated 288-byte region [ffff888001f27400, ffff888001f27520)
   (cache kmalloc-512)

Note: The result is a heap OOB write attacker-controlled content into the
adjacent slab object (requires CAP_NET_ADMIN).

The fix introduces reading tcfp_nkeys under act-&gt;tcfa_lock in all places
using a new tcf_pedit_nkeys_locked() which replaces the old tcf_pedit_nkeys().
Additionally we close the remaining TOCTOU window between the sizing read and
the fill reads by more careful accounting.
Rather than silently truncating the key count, which leads to incorrect
action semantics offloaded to hardware and secondary OOB writes if
the remaining capacity is zero or consumed by prior actions, we enforce
remaining capacity checks and return -ENOSPC if the required space exceeds
the remaining capacity.

GUE private flags can indicate that remote checksum offload metadata is
present. The private flags field itself is accounted for by
guehdr_flags_len(), but guehdr_priv_flags_len() currently returns 0 even
when GUE_PFLAG_REMCSUM is set.

This lets a packet with only the private flags field pass
validate_gue_flags(), after which gue_remcsum() and gue_gro_remcsum()
read the missing REMCSUM start/offset fields from the following bytes.

Account for GUE_PLEN_REMCSUM when GUE_PFLAG_REMCSUM is present so that
malformed packets are rejected during option validation.

when GUE_PFLAG_REMCSUM is set.

This lets a packet with only the private flags field pass
validate_gue_flags(), after which gue_remcsum() and gue_gro_remcsum()
read the missing REMCSUM start/offset fields from the following bytes.

Account for GUE_PLEN_REMCSUM when GUE_PFLAG_REMCSUM is present so that
malformed packets are rejected during option validation.

<title>ipv4: fib: Don't ignore error route in local/main tables.</title>

[ Upstream commit b72f0db64205d9ce462038ba995d5d31eff32dc1 ]

When CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES is enabled but no rule is added,
fib_lookup() performs route lookup directly on two tables.

Since the first lookup does not properly bail out, the result
of an error route in the merged local/main table could be
overwritten by another route in the default table:

  # unshare -n
  # ip link set lo up
  # ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 dev lo table 253
  # ip route add unreachable 192.168.0.0/24
  # ip route get 192.168.0.1
  192.168.0.1 dev lo table default uid 0
      cache &lt;local&gt;

Once a random rule is added, the error route is respected:

  # ip rule add table 0
  # ip rule del table 0
  # ip route get 192.168.0.1
  RTNETLINK answers: No route to host

Let's fix the inconsistent behaviour.

<title>netfilter: flowtable: move path discovery infrastructure to its own file</title>

[ Upstream commit 93d7a7ed07342f5e3da2d250cfd67f899d0b5318 ]

This file contains the path discovery that is run from the forward chain
for the packet offloading the flow into the flowtable. This consists
of a series of calls to dev_fill_forward_path() for each device stack.

More topologies may be supported in the future, so move this code to its
own file to separate it from the nftables flow_offload expression.

[ Upstream commit bff1c8b49a9cb5c04af20f4e7d43bf4af5863bc6 ]

Blamed commit added NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR to the set validate callback,
yet this is a get operation.

Add a get validate callback and move the NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR key
there.

AFAICS this is harmless, NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR can deal with a NULL
input device and the set handler ignores a NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR
operation, but it allows to read 4 bytes off bridge skb-&gt;cb[].
