commit a28c4fcbf774e23b4779cae468e3497a5ad1f4a1 upstream.

The SYN-RECEIVED request-socket path in tcp_check_req() accepts an
in-window RST without requiring SEG.SEQ to exactly match RCV.NXT.  A
non-exact RST therefore removes the request instead of eliciting a
challenge ACK.

RFC 9293 section 3.10.7.4 applies the RFC 5961 reset check in
SYN-RECEIVED: an exact RST resets the connection, while a non-exact
in-window RST must trigger a challenge ACK and be dropped.

Apply that check before the ACK-field validation, following the RFC
sequence-number, RST, then ACK processing order.  Factor the per-netns
challenge ACK quota out of tcp_send_challenge_ack() so request sockets
can share it.  Use the request socket's send_ack() callback and its own
out-of-window ACK timestamp to send and rate-limit the response.

commit e1a9d3cc11829c5414a75eb39c704f461936eb24 upstream.

tcp_v4_send_ack() and tcp_v6_send_response() construct standalone TCP
responses with TCP-AO options.  The option length carries the actual MAC
length, but the TCP header length includes the option rounded up to a
four-byte boundary.

tcp_ao_hash_hdr() writes the MAC only.  Thus, when the MAC length is not
four-byte aligned, the one to three bytes after the MAC are left
uninitialized and may be transmitted.  For the normal TCP-AO hashing
mode, those bytes also have to be initialized before computing the MAC.

Initialize only the alignment padding in the TCP-AO branches, before
hashing the header.  Use TCPOPT_NOP, as in the normal TCP-AO output path.
This avoids adding work to non-AO TCP responses while preserving a valid
authenticated header.

[ Upstream commit 2d66a033864e27ab8d5e44cb36f31d9d2413bee4 ]

tcp_bpf_sendmsg() keeps msg_tx across sk_stream_wait_memory(), which
drops and reacquires the socket lock.  Its error path tries to decide
whether msg_tx names the local temporary message by comparing it with
the current value of psock-&gt;cork.

This comparison is unsafe when two threads send on the same socket:

  Thread A                         Thread B
  msg_tx = psock-&gt;cork
  sk_msg_alloc() fails
  sk_stream_wait_memory()
    releases the socket lock      acquires the socket lock
                                  completes the cork
                                  psock-&gt;cork = NULL
                                  frees the cork
    reacquires the socket lock
  msg_tx != psock-&gt;cork
  sk_msg_free(msg_tx)

The stale cork is therefore mistaken for the local temporary message
and freed again.  KASAN reported:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sk_msg_free+0x49/0x50

msg_tx can only name the stack-local tmp or the shared cork. Check for
tmp directly so a changed psock-&gt;cork cannot turn a shared message into
an apparent local one.

[ Upstream commit 18f116931f52e3c3303ad4b15ff41eb89b0e4239 ]

raw_v4_match() is a lockless match helper under sk_for_each_rcu(). It
still reads inet-&gt;inet_daddr, inet-&gt;inet_rcv_saddr and
sk-&gt;sk_bound_dev_if with plain loads while bind, connect and
bind-to-device paths can update the same match fields concurrently.

Annotate only those mutable match fields in raw_v4_match(), and do so
at the point of use instead of hoisting the bound-device read before
the earlier short-circuit tests.

Also annotate the raw bind writer and the shared IPv4 datagram connect
writer used by raw sockets, so the address fields updated on bind and
connect match explicit WRITE_ONCE() updates.

This version intentionally leaves the shared disconnect-side IPv4
writers to follow-up cleanup and limits the writer changes here to the
raw bind path and the datagram connect path directly exercised by raw
sockets.

<title>ipv4: icmp: fill flow parameters in icmp_route_lookup decoy lookup</title>

[ Upstream commit 853e164c2b321f0711361bc23505aaeb7dc432c3 ]

When Linux forwards a packet and needs to generate an ICMP error,
icmp_route_lookup() performs a reverse-path relookup. For non-local
destinations, it performs a decoy lookup to find the expected egress
interface (rt2-&gt;dst.dev) before validating the path with ip_route_input().

Currently, the decoy flow structure (fl4_2) only sets .daddr = fl4_dec.saddr,
leaving .saddr, .flowi4_dscp, .flowi4_proto, .flowi4_mark, .flowi4_oif,
.fl4_sport, .fl4_dport, and .flowi4_uid zeroed out.

When policy routing rules (such as ip rule add from $SRC lookup 100, or
dscp/fwmark/ipproto/port rules, or VRF bindings) are configured:
1. The decoy lookup fails to match the policy rule because saddr and other
   key flow selectors are missing in fl4_2.
2. It resolves a route using the default table instead, returning an incorrect
   egress netdev.
3. Passing the wrong netdev to ip_route_input() causes strict reverse-path
   filtering (rp_filter=1) to fail, logging false-positive "martian source"
   warnings and causing the relookup to fail.

Fix this by initializing fl4_2 from fl4_dec and:
- Swapping source/destination IP addresses.
- Swapping L4 ports for transport protocols with ports (TCP, UDP, SCTP, DCCP)
  so port-based policy routing matches correctly. Non-port protocols (such as
  ICMP or GRE) leave the flowi_uli union fields intact to prevent corruption.
- Setting .flowi4_oif = l3mdev_master_ifindex(route_lookup_dev) to ensure
  VRF routing tables are respected.
- Setting .flowi4_flags |= FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC to allow output route lookups
  for non-local source IP addresses.
- Using __ip_route_output_key() instead of ip_route_output_key() for fl4_2
  so that raw FIB routing is used without triggering spurious XFRM policy
  lookups on the decoy flow (the actual XFRM lookup is performed later using
  fl4_dec).

   filtering (rp_filter=1) to fail, logging false-positive "martian source"
   warnings and causing the relookup to fail.

Fix this by initializing fl4_2 from fl4_dec and:
- Swapping source/destination IP addresses.
- Swapping L4 ports for transport protocols with ports (TCP, UDP, SCTP, DCCP)
  so port-based policy routing matches correctly. Non-port protocols (such as
  ICMP or GRE) leave the flowi_uli union fields intact to prevent corruption.
- Setting .flowi4_oif = l3mdev_master_ifindex(route_lookup_dev) to ensure
  VRF routing tables are respected.
- Setting .flowi4_flags |= FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC to allow output route lookups
  for non-local source IP addresses.
- Using __ip_route_output_key() instead of ip_route_output_key() for fl4_2
  so that raw FIB routing is used without triggering spurious XFRM policy
  lookups on the decoy flow (the actual XFRM lookup is performed later using
  fl4_dec).

<title>net: gre: fix lltx regression for GRE tunnels with SEQ/CSUM</title>

[ Upstream commit 675ed582c1aa4d919dd535490de08c015005c653 ]

Before commit 00d066a4d4ed ("netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_LLTX to
dev-&gt;lltx"), NETIF_F_LLTX was set unconditionally in both
__gre_tunnel_init() and ip6gre_tnl_init_features() alongside
GRE_FEATURES:

    dev-&gt;features |= GRE_FEATURES | NETIF_F_LLTX;

When that commit converted NETIF_F_LLTX to the dev-&gt;lltx flag, it
placed 'dev-&gt;lltx = true' after the SEQ/CSUM early returns instead
of before them. This causes GRE/GRETAP/ip6gre tunnels with SEQ or
CSUM+encap to lose lockless TX, reintroducing _xmit_lock acquisition
around their ndo_start_xmit. Since GRE xmit re-enters the stack via
ip_tunnel_xmit(), holding _xmit_lock risks ABBA deadlock with the
underlay device.

  lock(&amp;qdisc_xmit_lock_key#3);

Fix by moving dev-&gt;lltx = true before the early returns in both
functions, restoring the original unconditional behavior.

[ Upstream commit 980a813452754f8001704744e92f7aa697c53dd3 ]

bpf_iter_tcp_batch() releases the current batch via
bpf_iter_tcp_put_batch(), which drops the socket refs and rewrites
each slot with the socket cookie, then grows the batch. cur_sk/end_sk
are kept for bpf_iter_tcp_resume(), but on realloc failure the function
returns ERR_PTR() before resume runs, leaving cur_sk &lt; end_sk over
slots that now hold cookies rather than sock pointers.
bpf_iter_tcp_seq_stop() then calls bpf_iter_tcp_put_batch() again and
dereferences a cookie as a struct sock.

Empty the batch on the failure path so stop() does not release it
again. The sockets were already freed by the first
bpf_iter_tcp_put_batch(), so nothing leaks, and a later read() rescans
the bucket from the start instead of skipping it. The sibling
GFP_NOWAIT failure path still holds real socket references and is left
for stop() to release.

[ Upstream commit 6347c5314cee49f364aaf2e40ff15415a57a116e ]

nh_res_bucket_migrate() passes an uninitialized netlink_ext_ack to
call_nexthop_res_bucket_notifiers(). When
nh_notifier_res_bucket_info_init() fails (e.g. the kzalloc returns
-ENOMEM), the error is propagated back before any notifier sets
extack._msg, and the error path formats the stale pointer with
pr_err_ratelimited("%s\n", extack._msg). With CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE
this dereferences uninitialized stack memory:

  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address ...

[ Upstream commit f2f152e94a67bc746afaf05a1b2702c195553112 ]

fib_table_insert() publishes new_fa into the leaf's fa_list with
fib_insert_alias() before calling the fib entry notifiers. When a
notifier fails, the error path removes new_fa with fib_remove_alias()
(hlist_del_rcu) and frees it right away with kmem_cache_free().

fib_table_lookup() walks that list under rcu_read_lock() only, so a
concurrent lookup that already reached new_fa keeps reading it after the
free:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in fib_table_lookup (net/ipv4/fib_trie.c:1601)

Triggering the error path needs CAP_NET_ADMIN and a registered fib

resource is exhausted is enough.
