<content type='text'>
When GRO attempts to aggregate IPv6 packets beyond GRO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE
(64KB), the aggregate should only be permitted for plain IPv6 TCP flows
that have sufficient MAC header room to insert the temporary HBH jumbo header.

In 6.1.y, skb_gro_receive() had two issues with this check:

1. It checked skb_headroom(p) instead of the actual space before the MAC
   header (p-&gt;mac_header). Because skb_headroom(p) measures (data - head),
   it includes mac_len. Crafted frames (e.g. injected via AF_PACKET) can
   pass the check with p-&gt;mac_header &lt; 8 bytes. When ipv6_gro_complete()
   inserts the temporary HBH jumbo header, the memmove() starts before
   skb-&gt;head, causing an out-of-bounds write and wrapping skb-&gt;mac_header.
2. It checked p-&gt;encapsulation instead of NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)-&gt;encap_mark,
   which is 0 during receive, failing to reject encapsulated IPv6 flows
   (such as IP6IP6).

Fix skb_gro_receive() to strictly check:
- p-&gt;protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6)
- p-&gt;mac_header &gt;= sizeof(struct hop_jumbo_hdr)
- ipv6_hdr(p)-&gt;nexthdr == IPPROTO_TCP
- Not encapsulated (!NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)-&gt;encap_mark &amp;&amp; !p-&gt;encapsulation)

Returning -E2BIG from skb_gro_receive() ensures that packets which cannot
become BIG TCP are cleanly flushed at &lt;= 64KB and delivered intact without
dropping.

This issue does not exist in mainline (7.0+) because the subsystem was
rewritten in commit 81be30c1f5f2 ("net/ipv6: Drop HBH for BIG TCP on RX
side"), making this fix relevant only for older stable branches like
6.18.y.

[ Upstream commit 817ff6efdb7f484ea547218e11e17d8e43daa3b4 ]

pktgen_change_name() replaces pkt_dev-&gt;entry while holding t-&gt;if_lock.
pktgen_remove_device() removes the same entry before
_rem_dev_from_if_list() takes that lock.

This allows the following interleaving:

  CPU 0 (NETDEV_CHANGENAME)       CPU 1 (kpktgend)
  if_lock(t)
  proc_remove(pkt_dev-&gt;entry)
                                  proc_remove(pkt_dev-&gt;entry)
  pkt_dev-&gt;entry = proc_create_data(...)
  if_unlock(t)

The kthread can pass the stale proc_dir_entry to proc_remove() after the
rename path has freed it. A reproducer with a widened race window reports:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in proc_remove+0x78/0x80

  The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff8881478fea00
   which belongs to the cache proc_dir_entry of size 192

Move proc_remove() into the if_lock-protected list removal helper. Keep it
before list_del_rcu() to preserve the ordering required by add_device().
The rename path must then finish replacing the entry before removal, or
it observes that the device is no longer on the list.

[ Upstream commit e751256486d0ded20f5a9f9863467f1dce65142f ]

Commit 0ab03f353d36 ("net-gro: Fix GRO flush when receiving a GSO
packet.") added a flush check to skb_gro_receive(), but
skb_gro_receive_list() lacks the same validation.

As a result, packets marked with NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)-&gt;flush may still be
re-aggregated.

This allows already-GRO'd packets with existing frag_list to be
re-aggregated into a new GRO session, corrupting the frag_list chain
structure. When skb_segment() attempts to unpack these malformed packets,
it encounters invalid state and triggers a kernel panic.

Scenario (Tethering/Device forwarding):
  1. Driver: Generated aggregated packet P1 via LRO with frag_list
  2. Dev A: Receives aggregated fraglist packet and flush flag set
  3. Dev A: Re-enters GRO, skb_gro_receive_list() is called
  4. Missing flush check allows re-aggregation despite flush flag
  5. Frag_list chain becomes corrupted (loops or dangling refs)
  6. Dev B: TX path calls skb_segment(), crashes on corrupted frag_list

Root cause in skb_segment():
  The check at line ~4891:
    if (hsize &lt;= 0 &amp;&amp; i &gt;= nfrags &amp;&amp; skb_headlen(list_skb) &amp;&amp;
        (skb_headlen(list_skb) == len || sg)) {

  When frag_list is corrupted by double aggregation, when list_skb is
  a NULL pointer from skb-&gt;next, skb_headlen(list_skb) dereference
  NULL/corrupted pointers occurs.

Call Trace:
 skb_headlen(NULL skb)

 tcp_gso_segment
 tcp4_gso_segment
 inet_gso_segment
 skb_mac_gso_segment
 __skb_gso_segment
 skb_gso_segment
 validate_xmit_skb
 validate_xmit_skb_list
 sch_direct_xmit
 qdisc_restart
 __qdisc_run
 qdisc_run
 net_tx_action

Fix: Add NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)-&gt;flush validation to the early-return check in
skb_gro_receive_list(), matching the defensive programming pattern of
skb_gro_receive().

<title>xdp: reject clones that overrun skb_shared_info tailroom</title>

commit e48e8edbef2eb824201495daa5234560f632b23c upstream.

xdpf_clone() clones broadcast copies into a single page and sets
frame_sz to PAGE_SIZE. __xdp_build_skb_from_frame() later treats that
page like a normal XDP frame and expects the usual skb_shared_info
tailroom at the end of the buffer.

The current check only rejects frames whose linear xdp_frame header,
headroom, and packet data exceed PAGE_SIZE. A source frame backed by a
larger allocation can still satisfy that check while extending into the
clone's required shared-info area. When such a clone is converted back
into an skb, build_skb_around() places skb_shared_info over live packet
bytes and later writes can corrupt XDP return metadata.

Reject clones unless their linear area fits inside
SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(PAGE_SIZE), matching the tailroom requirement already
enforced by the XDP-to-skb conversion path.

[ Upstream commit b8a39a09ae4eaae04309e1e38ed6a1101d967496 ]

sk_mc_loop() can be called for sockets that are neither AF_INET
nor AF_INET6 (e.g. AF_PACKET sockets when sending packets via raw/packet
socket over virtual devices such as VRF or ipvlan).

In such cases, sk_family is not AF_INET/AF_INET6 and sk_mc_loop() falls
through the switch statement and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(1).

Non-INET sockets do not support IP_MULTICAST_LOOP or IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP
options, so loopback should default to true without generating a warning.

commit 88c17de85ddb459c3fe1e3c65d61fa366b1cf0a8 upstream.

bpf_lwt_xmit_reroute() obtains a referenced dst from the route
lookup. When skb_cow_head() fails before that dst is installed on the
skb, the error path only frees the skb. The skb still owns its previous
dst, so the newly looked up dst reference is leaked.

Release the new dst reference before freeing the skb on this error
path.

<title>bpf, sockmap: Reject unhashed UDP sockets on sockmap update</title>

[ Upstream commit 66efd3368ae10d05e08fbe6425b50fdec7186ac7 ]

UDP sockets get SOCK_RCU_FREE set when (auto-)bound. This means
sk_is_refcounted(unbound) = true, while sk_is_refcounted(bound) = false.

Because sockmap accepts unbound UDP sockets, a BPF program can increment a
socket's refcount via lookup. If the socket is subsequently bound, the
transition from unbound to bound causes bpf_sk_release() to skip the
decrement of the refcount, causing a memory leak.

Instead of special-casing for refcounted sockets, reject unhashed UDP
sockets during sockmap updates, as there is no benefit to supporting those.
This effectively reverts the commit under Fixes, with two exceptions:

1. sock_map_sk_state_allowed() maintains a fall-through `return true`.
2. In the spirit of commit b8b8315e39ff ("bpf, sockmap: Remove unhash
