commit a6bfdfcc6711d1d5a92e98644359dedc67c0c858 upstream.

The LLSEC ADD/DEL doit handlers under the legacy IEEE802154_NL family
consume IEEE802154_ATTR_LLSEC_KEY_BYTES and
IEEE802154_ATTR_LLSEC_KEY_USAGE_COMMANDS, both declared in
net/ieee802154/nl_policy.c as bare length entries with no .type
(defaulting to NLA_UNSPEC). Generic netlink strict validation rejects
all NLA_UNSPEC attributes via validate_nla(), so every LLSEC_ADD_KEY,
LLSEC_DEL_KEY, LLSEC_ADD_DEV, LLSEC_DEL_DEV, LLSEC_ADD_DEVKEY,
LLSEC_DEL_DEVKEY, LLSEC_ADD_SECLEVEL, and LLSEC_DEL_SECLEVEL request
fails at the dispatcher with "Unsupported attribute" before reaching
the handler.

The doit path has been silently dead since strict validation became
the default for genl families that do not opt out. The dump path is
unaffected because dump requests carry no LLSEC attributes to
validate, which is why the LLSEC_LIST_KEY read remained reachable
(patch 1/2). Introduce IEEE802154_OP_RELAXED() mirroring
IEEE802154_OP() but with .validate = GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_STRICT, and
use it for the eight legacy LLSEC mutate ops so admin-driven LLSEC
configuration via the legacy interface works again.

<title>ieee802154: admin-gate legacy LLSEC dump operations</title>

commit 9c1e0b6d49471a712511d23fc9d06901561135e8 upstream.

In net/ieee802154/netlink.c, the legacy IEEE802154_NL family ops table
builds the LLSEC dump entries (LLSEC_LIST_KEY, LLSEC_LIST_DEV,
LLSEC_LIST_DEVKEY, LLSEC_LIST_SECLEVEL) with IEEE802154_DUMP() which
sets no .flags, so generic netlink runs them ungated. The modern
nl802154 family admin-gates the equivalent reads via
NL802154_CMD_GET_SEC_KEY and friends with .flags = GENL_ADMIN_PERM.

Any local uid that can open AF_NETLINK / NETLINK_GENERIC can resolve
the "802.15.4 MAC" family and dump LLSEC_LIST_KEY on any wpan netdev
that has an LLSEC key installed; the dump handler writes the raw
16-byte AES-128 key bytes (IEEE802154_ATTR_LLSEC_KEY_BYTES, copied
verbatim from struct ieee802154_llsec_key.key) into the reply.
Recovering the AES key compromises 802.15.4 LLSEC link confidentiality
and authenticity, since LLSEC uses CCM* and the same key authenticates
and encrypts frames.

Impact: any local uid with no capabilities can read the raw 16-byte
AES-128 LLSEC key from the kernel keytable on any wpan netdev that has
an administrator-installed LLSEC key, by issuing an LLSEC_LIST_KEY
dump on the legacy IEEE802154_NL generic-netlink family.

Introduce IEEE802154_DUMP_PRIV() mirroring IEEE802154_DUMP() but
setting .flags = GENL_ADMIN_PERM, and use it for the four LLSEC dump
entries. LIST_PHY and LIST_IFACE retain IEEE802154_DUMP() because the
modern nl802154 family exposes their equivalents to unprivileged
readers by design (NL802154_CMD_GET_WPAN_PHY and
NL802154_CMD_GET_INTERFACE carry "can be retrieved by unprivileged
users" annotations).

[ Upstream commit 4db86f8ab11b5a41bfc36680be837e6ac1375ec6 ]

KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak in move_addr_to_user():

 dgram_recvmsg+0xa09/0xbe0 net/ieee802154/socket.c:739

The issue occurs because the `pan_id` field of `struct ieee802154_addr`
is left uninitialized when the address mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`.
The execution flow is as follows:

1. `__ieee802154_rx_handle_packet()` declares a local `struct
ieee802154_hdr hdr` on the stack.
2. `ieee802154_hdr_pull()` calls `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` to parse
the source and destination addresses into this structure.
3. If the address mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`,
`ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` previously only set the `mode` field,
leaving the `pan_id` field containing uninitialized stack memory.
4. This uninitialized `pan_id` is later copied into a `struct
sockaddr_ieee802154` in `dgram_recvmsg()` via `ieee802154_addr_to_sa()`.
5. Finally, `move_addr_to_user()` copies the socket address structure to
user space, leaking the uninitialized bytes.

Fix this by using `memset` to zero out the address structure in
`ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` when the mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`.

[ Upstream commit a2e06b4bef20b59446d5088e938c2be53cc4e6c6 ]

Currently, the return value of device_rename() is not acted upon.

To avoid an inconsistent state in case of failure, roll back the changes
made before the device_rename() call.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

<title>ieee802154: 6lowpan: only accept IPv6 packets in lowpan_xmit()</title>

<id>3a5f3f7aff18bcc36a57839cf50cf0cc8de707f3</id>
<content type='text'>
The aoe driver (or similar) generates a non-IPv6 packet
(e.g., ETH_P_AOE) and queues it for transmission via dev_queue_xmit()
on a 6LoWPAN interface (configured by the user or test case).

Since the packet is not IPv6, the 6LoWPAN header_ops-&gt;create function
(lowpan_header_create or header_create) returns early without initializing
the lowpan_addr_info structure in the skb headroom.

In the transmit function (lowpan_xmit), the driver calls lowpan_header
(or setup_header) which unconditionally copies and uses the lowpan_addr_info
from the headroom, which contains uninitialized data.

Fix this by dropping non IPv6 packets.

A similar fix is needed in net/bluetooth/6lowpan.c bt_xmit().

Fixes: 4dc315e267fe ("ieee802154: 6lowpan: move transmit functionality")

Use msg-&gt;msg_namelen as a place holder instead of a
temporary variable, notably in inet[6]_recvmsg().

This removes stack canaries and allows tail-calls.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>
<updated>2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00</updated>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".
