commit d2fb981384b3a45f690616d550b29046e8ad16a4 upstream.

syzbot is still reporting

  unregister_netdevice: waiting for vcan0 to become free. Usage count = 2

problem. A debug printk() patch in linux-next-20260508 identified that
there is dev_hold()/dev_put() imbalance in j1939_priv management.

This refcount leak in j1939_priv might be caused by a refcount leak in
j1939_{session,ecu} because j1939_{session,ecu} holds a ref on j1939_priv.
For further investigation using upstream kernels, enable netdevice_tracker
in j1939_{priv,session,ecu} management.

commit eb96c58907922546e415e545fe9a14ea63b02719 upstream.

Zero the allocated buffer in j1939_session_fresh_new() to ensure it
contains no residual data.

While there is a potential performance impact if users allocate maximum
sized ETP buffers, most real-world use cases are not noticeably affected
since the maximum known buffer size is typically around 65K.

<title>can: isotp: fix timer drain order, wakeup handling and tx_gen ordering</title>

commit 050f010f920da17c1044a4f174766ad553e770b6 upstream.

This patch is a follow-up to commit cf070fe33bfb ("can: isotp: serialize
TX state transitions under so-&gt;rx_lock") which addresses following
sashiko-bot findings:

- isotp_sendmsg(): drain so-&gt;txfrtimer first so a stale callback can't
  re-arm echotimer after the claim

- isotp_release(): wake so-&gt;wait after forcing ISOTP_SHUTDOWN so a
  sleeping sendmsg() claim isn't stranded

- isotp_sendmsg(): have both wait_event_interruptible() calls in
  isotp_sendmsg() also wake on ISOTP_SHUTDOWN and do not return claim to
  IDLE to avoid corrupting a concurrent isotp_release() process.

- isotp_sendmsg(): handle potential claim of a new transfer when
  the wait_event_interruptible() call returns in CAN_ISOTP_WAIT_TX_DONE
  mode. Don't touch timers and states of the new transfer if a new thread
  incremented so-&gt;tx_gen before getting the lock at err_event_drop.

- isotp_sendmsg(): handle a stuck can_send() and omit timer and state
  changes if a new transfer was claimed. wait_tx_done() returns the error
  recorded in so-&gt;tx_result[], tagged with the caller's own generation.

- isotp_tx_timeout(): on a claimed timeout, record the ECOMM error for
  the timed-out transfer's own generation in so-&gt;tx_result[]; sk-&gt;sk_err
  is raised unconditionally, same as every other error path here.

- isotp_tx_gen_done()/isotp_tx_timeout(): always read tx.state (acquire)
  before tx_gen - the reverse order let a weakly ordered CPU pair a fresh
  tx.state with a stale tx_gen/tx_result slot.

- isotp_sendmsg(): wait_tx_done: drain sk_err via sock_error() once we
  have read the result from so-&gt;tx_result[], so an already-reported error
  doesn't stay latched for a later poll()/SO_ERROR.

Also align the remaining lock-free so-&gt;tx.state/rx.state/cfecho accesses
and use skb-&gt;hash as unique loopback echo frame indicator.

commit bc62e843bc48f933da765ce47079fd992e535794 upstream.

ovs_ct_execute() always steals or frees the skb on failure while
ovs_flow_key_update() does not.  So, if it fails and we return right
away, the skb ends up leaked.

Fix that by breaking instead and letting the common error handling
code at the bottom of the loop to free the skb properly.

This is a very unlikely scenario as it requires the packet to become
unparseable by applying a set of actions on a previously parseable skb,
but should be fixed nevertheless.

Reported by Sashiko.

commit e1cf066244dad576221b7123a0e5005967f25a20 upstream.

do_execute_actions() returns right away when execute_recirc() fails on
the last action as it assumes this function always takes ownership of
the skb when 'last' is true.  But when the flow key update fails, the
function doesn't free the skb and it ends up leaked.

This is a very unlikely scenario as it requires the packet to become
unparseable by applying a set of actions on a previously parseable skb,
but should be fixed nevertheless.

<title>net: openvswitch: fix potential UAF on meter attach failure</title>

<id>431a295d93f76fbdb6a7cfce92a9e3dfee1e5d61</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a58a2b0ce354df531ebc71fc870058c2feb59f6b upstream.

While attaching a newly created meter attach_meter() function makes
the new meter visible to other CPUs but can still fail afterwards.
On failure, it detaches the meter back and returns an error.

However, this is an unexpected behavior for the ovs_meter_cmd_set()
that uses a plain kfree(meter) on attach failure without waiting for
RCU readers to stop using it, assuming it was never visible.

commit a58a2b0ce354df531ebc71fc870058c2feb59f6b upstream.

While attaching a newly created meter attach_meter() function makes
the new meter visible to other CPUs but can still fail afterwards.
On failure, it detaches the meter back and returns an error.

However, this is an unexpected behavior for the ovs_meter_cmd_set()
that uses a plain kfree(meter) on attach failure without waiting for
RCU readers to stop using it, assuming it was never visible.

<title>sctp: prevent peer transport count overflow</title>

commit bd0e9289e2642f6a5c54faad304ce0f41e926d22 upstream.

sctp_assoc_add_peer() increments the association's 16-bit transport_count
for every new unique peer. Adding the 65,536th transport wraps the count to
zero.

SCTP sock_diag uses transport_count to reserve the INET_DIAG_PEERS payload,
then copies one sockaddr_storage for every entry in transport_addr_list.
After the wrap, a diagnostic dump reserves an empty payload and writes
8 MiB of peer addresses past the skb tail.

Reject a new unique peer when transport_count has reached U16_MAX. Perform
the check after the existing-peer lookup so a duplicate address continues
to return its existing transport at the limit.

<title>sctp: reject stale cookies with mismatched verification tags</title>

commit 9d8da8e0a9bce4a340af60dd0446bc7eb8d07587 upstream.

sctp_unpack_cookie() skips cookie expiration checks whenever an
association already exists.  This is broader than the exception in
RFC 9260 Section 5.2.4.

For an existing association, Section 5.2.4 permits an expired State
Cookie only when both Verification Tags in the cookie match the current
association.  Otherwise, the packet SHOULD be discarded and a Stale
Cookie ERROR MUST be sent.

The broad check lets an expired Action A restart cookie reach
sctp_sf_do_dupcook_a().  In a runtime test with the default 60 second
cookie lifetime, replaying such a cookie after 65 seconds returned a
COOKIE-ACK and restarted the association.

Check cookie expiration unless both Verification Tags match.  This
preserves the Action D exception for a lost COOKIE ACK while rejecting
expired cookies in all other cases.

<title>veth: convert frag_list skbs before running XDP</title>

commit d0d6415963040c401e7a7e4e482a698ba52448cb upstream.

A frag_list skb can reach veth with data_len set but nr_frags zero.
veth_convert_skb_to_xdp_buff() only converts skbs that are shared,
locked, have frags[], or do not have enough headroom. It later uses
skb_is_nonlinear() to decide whether to set XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS and
xdp_frags_size.

That exposes frag_list data to XDP as if it were stored in frags[], but
frags[] is empty. AF_XDP copy mode can then trust the bogus XDP fragment
metadata, walk an empty fragment entry, and crash in memcpy() from
__xsk_rcv().

Route non-linear skbs through skb_pp_cow_data() before exposing them to
XDP, and only advertise XDP frags when the resulting skb has frags[].
skb_copy_bits() already handles frag_list input, and skb_pp_cow_data()
builds frags[] output with skb_add_rx_frag(), which is the
representation XDP multi-buffer expects.

commit 817ff6efdb7f484ea547218e11e17d8e43daa3b4 upstream.

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:

Move proc_remove() into the if_lock-protected list removal helper. Keep it

The rename path must then finish replacing the entry before removal, or
it observes that the device is no longer on the list.
