[ Upstream commit 125755776bc6d4dd53eaf551c87e3d460625d638 ]

Devmem tcp tx doesn't work without zero-copy, however it's not currently
enforced if NETIF_F_SG isn't present. In this case, tcp_sendmsg_locked()
will try the copy path and try to copy data from an iovec which consists
of offsets into the dma-buf and would normally fail. Moreover,
d9c56501c72fd ("net: tcp: block mixing readable and unreadable frags")
relies on that and assumes that the devmem binding is present IFF we're
using the zero-copy path, which can be used to mix net-iov and pages in
a single skb, and break invariants. Let's reject devmem tx without
zero-copy.

Note, the parameter check the patch is modifying is too loose, we can
create an io_uring request with dmabuf_id and all ZC flags, but which
won't have the binding. We replace it with stricter validation.

<title>tcp: fix corruption of urgent data on multi-segment retransmit</title>

[ Upstream commit ce2b807f42ed5e55567b8864ab72963f90779270 ]

On the normal xmit path, while in urgent mode we refuse to build a
multi-segment TSO packet, so every segment gets its own urg_ptr:

	/* tcp_write_xmit() */
	limit = mss_now;
	if (tso_segs &gt; 1 &amp;&amp; !tcp_urg_mode(tp))
		limit = tcp_mss_split_point(...);

The retransmit path has no such guard. __tcp_retransmit_skb() builds a
segs &gt; 1 skb and hands it to the GSO layer, which only advances th-&gt;seq
per segment and copies urg_ptr verbatim:

	/* __tcp_retransmit_skb() */
	len = cur_mss * segs;		/* segs &gt; 1, no urg_mode check */
	...
	/* tcp_gso_segment(): bumps seq only, urg_ptr is copied */

urg_ptr is an offset from the segment's own seq, so a copied value points
at a different place on each segment. The receiver rebuilds the absolute
urgent seq as seg.seq + urg_ptr, so it walks a moving urgent point instead
of the one OOB byte:

	seg1  seq 1     urg_ptr 5001 -&gt; urgent @ 5001   (ok)
	seg2  seq 1001  urg_ptr 5001 -&gt; urgent @ 6001   (wrong, +MSS)
	seg3  seq 2001  urg_ptr 5001 -&gt; urgent @ 7001   (wrong, +2*MSS)

The real OOB byte is never pointed at, so the receiver stops splicing it
out and delivers it as normal in-band data, corrupting the stream.

Guard the retransmit length like the xmit path: keep segs = 1 while in
urgent mode.

<title>inetpeer: randomize RB-tree node comparison using SipHash</title>

[ Upstream commit 2ee66e9487172fcd189bc52a767c30dad7141c09 ]

The inetpeer rate limiting system stores peer entries in a Red-Black tree
keyed deterministically on the remote IP address. Because tree lookups walk
the RB-tree using standard lexicographical comparisons (inetpeer_addr_cmp),
an off-path adversary can predict the exact topology of the tree and the
sequence of nodes traversed during lookups (the gc_stack candidate list).

By combining deterministic tree traversal with aggressive garbage collection
(triggered when tree size exceeds inet_peer_threshold), an attacker can
selectively force the eviction of targeted inet_peer nodes. When an evicted
node is subsequently re-created upon receiving a new packet, its rate-limiting
token bucket (rate_tokens, rate_last) is reset to full capacity. This creates
a side-channel primitive allowing off-path attackers to bypass IP-keyed ICMP
rate limits and infer open UDP ports (similar to SAD DNS style attacks).

Mitigate this by randomizing the RB-tree node comparison logic using SipHash
with a secret key (inetpeer_hash_key) initialized via net_get_random_once().
Nodes are ordered in the tree by SipHash(addr, key) rather than raw IP
addresses. Because the secret key is unknown to external entities, the tree
layout and lookup traversal paths are unpredictable to off-path adversaries,
breaking the deterministic eviction gadget.

Cache the computed 64-bit SipHash (hash) in struct inet_peer and compute the
target hash (dhash) once at the beginning of inet_getpeer() to avoid recomputing
SipHash at every step of the RB-tree walk.

[ Upstream commit 21697720ff43b8dfa25b8e8d9ca7f56f4597fc80 ]

esp_ssg_unref() releases the page references held on the source
scatterlist after the AEAD operation completes.  It calls
skb_page_unref() on every frag page for an out-of-place transform
(req-&gt;src != req-&gt;dst), and in the error path of esp_output_tail()
(already_unref == true) on the request's own scatterlist.

This is wrong when the skb carries managed frags
(SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS).  Managed frags are owned by a zerocopy ubuf
and the skb does not hold a per-frag page reference; io_uring SEND_ZC
with a registered buffer attaches the bvec pages this way via
io_sg_from_iter().  The rest of the stack honours this invariant:
skb_release_data() skips the per-frag unref when SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS
is set, and skb_zcopy_managed() is the guard used at the other unref
sites.

esp_ssg_unref() is missing that guard, so for a managed-frag skb it
drops a page reference the skb never acquired.  This can underflow the
page reference count and free a page that is still in use.

Guard the function with skb_zcopy_managed() so both unref paths are
skipped for managed-frag skbs, matching skb_release_data().

commit 6b222adeb9340306e2ff97127c76117abb9b3df8 upstream.

IP tunnel devices derive their advertised needed_headroom from lower
output devices. A stack of user-created devices can make the derived
value larger than the 16-bit skb header offsets can represent. Once IP
output reserves it, skb head expansion can wrap those offsets.

The runtime transmit path already caps a growing needed_headroom at 512.
Apply the same cap when tunnel configuration publishes needed_headroom
derived from a lower output device.

Capping the advertised value is safe: IP tunnel transmit still expands
the skb when a packet needs more headroom. A nonsensical stacked
configuration can therefore incur an extra reallocation, but it cannot
publish an unbounded reservation to upper layers.

commit 6b222adeb9340306e2ff97127c76117abb9b3df8 upstream.

IP tunnel devices derive their advertised needed_headroom from lower
output devices. A stack of user-created devices can make the derived
value larger than the 16-bit skb header offsets can represent. Once IP
output reserves it, skb head expansion can wrap those offsets.

The runtime transmit path already caps a growing needed_headroom at 512.
Apply the same cap when tunnel configuration publishes needed_headroom
derived from a lower output device.

Capping the advertised value is safe: IP tunnel transmit still expands
the skb when a packet needs more headroom. A nonsensical stacked
configuration can therefore incur an extra reallocation, but it cannot
publish an unbounded reservation to upper layers.

<title>ip: orphan prefetched skbs before multicast forwarding</title>

commit e36ce6e78fe3fc3c071a26750783b7ba081ce10d upstream.

IPv4 and IPv6 input preserve an skb-&gt;sk association installed by
bpf_sk_assign() so that local delivery can use the selected socket under
RCU. Both address families can also prefetch a socket in UDP early demux.
In both paths (BPF and UDP early demux) a reference is not guaranteed to
be held on the socket.

When a multicast packet is not locally deliverable, IPv6 hands the
original skb to ip6_mr_input(). IPv4's ip_mr_input() similarly keeps the
original skb when local delivery is not needed. Either path can put the
skb on an unresolved multicast route queue or forward it after the
receive-side RCU section ends.

After the prefetched socket is destroyed, a later skb free invokes
sock_pfree() and dereferences the stale skb-&gt;sk. Orphan the skb before
each non-local multicast forwarding path. Local delivery retains the
original skb; the existing skb_clone() calls provide multicast forwarding
with a socket-free clone.

<title>ipip: fix skb leak in collect_md mode when metadata_dst allocation fails</title>

commit 6776efe4a52f289a3fc18f8adf19b035a7d8e1bb upstream.

In collect_md mode ipip_tunnel_rcv() returns 0 without freeing the skb
when ip_tun_rx_dst() fails to allocate the metadata_dst. ipip_rcv() and
mplsip_rcv() are registered as xfrm_tunnel handlers, so tunnel4_rcv()
and tunnelmpls4_rcv() read the zero return as "the packet has been
consumed" and do not free it either. The skb is leaked.

The other tunnel drivers all dispose of the packet at this point:
ip6_tunnel.c jumps to its drop label, ip_gre.c and ip6_gre.c return
PACKET_REJECT, which makes gre_rcv() free the skb. Only ipip returns 0.

Jump to the existing drop label instead. It frees the skb and still
returns 0, so the packet keeps being reported as consumed, which is what
we want here: the outer header has already been pulled, and neither the
remaining handlers nor an ICMP unreachable have any use for it.

Triggering this needs an ipip or mplsip tunnel in collect_md mode and an
atomic allocation failure, which is why it has gone unnoticed.

<title>tcp: clamp route advmss to TCP_MIN_MSS</title>

commit 870a9e42ecc6fe1b8c25d87af043cb0d9c178fe1 upstream.

tcp_select_initial_window() assumes that callers never pass an MSS
smaller than 1, but route-derived advmss values can violate that
assumption.

A too-small explicit RTAX_ADVMSS is one way to get there, but it is not
the only one. The same divide-by-zero can also be reached through the
"default advmss" path when RTAX_ADVMSS is left at 0 and the effective
advmss is later driven down by route MTU and min_adv_mss.

Introduce a tcp_dst_advmss() helper that clamps route advmss to
TCP_MIN_MSS before TCP consumes it, and use it in the TCP paths that
derive advmss from dst metrics. This keeps the effective MSS from
dropping to zero before tcp_select_initial_window() rounds the receive
window.
