udp: clear skb->dev before running a sockmap verdict

2026-06-04T16:01:51+00:00

On the UDP receive path skb->dev is repurposed as dev_scratch (the
truesize/state cache set by udp_set_dev_scratch()), through the
union { struct net_device *dev; unsigned long dev_scratch; } in sk_buff.

When a UDP socket is in a sockmap, sk_data_ready is
sk_psock_verdict_data_ready(), which calls udp_read_skb() -> recv_actor()
(sk_psock_verdict_recv) to run the attached SK_SKB verdict program in softirq.
If that program calls a socket-lookup helper (bpf_sk_lookup_tcp/udp,
bpf_skc_lookup_tcp), bpf_skc_lookup() does:

	if (skb->dev)
		caller_net = dev_net(skb->dev);

skb->dev still holds the dev_scratch value (a non-NULL integer), so dev_net()
dereferences it as a struct net_device * and the kernel takes a general
protection fault on a non-canonical address in softirq:

  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x1010000800004a0

The rmem charge that dev_scratch accounted for is released by skb_recv_udp() on
dequeue, just above, so the scratch is dead by the time recv_actor() runs. Clear
skb->dev so bpf_skc_lookup() falls back to sock_net(skb->sk), which
skb_set_owner_sk_safe() set just above.

ipv4: restrict IPOPT_SSRR and IPOPT_LSRR options

2026-06-04T01:53:14+00:00

This patch restricts setting Loose Source and Record Route (LSRR)
and Strict Source and Record Route (SSRR) IP options to users
with CAP_NET_RAW capability.

This prevents unprivileged applications from forcing packets to route
through attacker-controlled nodes to leak TCP ISN and possibly other
protocol information.

While LSRR and SSRR are commonly filtered in many network environments,
they may still be supported and forwarded along some network paths.

RFC 7126 (Recommendations on Filtering of IPv4 Packets Containing
IPv4 Options) recommend to drop these options in 4.3 and 4.4.

tcp: Add preempt_{disable,enable}_nested() in reqsk_queue_hash_req().

2026-06-02T18:55:56+00:00

syzbot reported a weird reqsk->rsk_refcnt underflow in
__inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop().

The captured reqsk_put() in __inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop()
is called only when it successfully removes reqsk from ehash.

Moreover, reqsk_timer_handler() calls another reqsk_put()
after that.

This indicates that the reqsk was missing both refcnts for
ehash and the timer itself.

Since all the syzbot reports had PREEMPT_RT enabled, the only
possible scenario is that reqsk_queue_hash_req() is preempted
after mod_timer() and before refcount_set(), and then the timer
triggered after 1s aborts the reqsk due to its listener's close().

Let's wrap mod_timer() and refcount_set() with
preempt_disable_nested() and preempt_enable_nested().

Note that inet_ehash_insert() holds the normal spin_lock()
(mutex in PREEMPT_RT), so it must be called outside of
preempt_disable_nested(), but this is fine.

The lookup path just ignores 0 sk_refcnt entries in ehash
and tries to create another reqsk, but this will fail at
inet_ehash_insert().

4) xfrm: ah: use skb_to_full_sk in async output callbacks
   Convert the possibly-incomplete skb->sk to a full socket pointer

   The patch does not fix te issue completely.

6) xfrm: esp: restore combined single-frag length gate
   Check the aligned post-trailer combined length against a page limit
   in the fast path, preventing skb_page_frag_refill() from falling
   back to a page too small for the destination scatterlist.
   From Jingguo Tan.

7) xfrm: iptfs: reset runtime state when cloning SAs
   Reinitialise the clone's mode_data runtime objects before
   publishing it, preventing queued skbs from being freed with
   list state copied from the original SA when migration fails.
   From Shaomin Chen.

8) xfrm: move policy_bydst RCU sync from per-netns .exit to .pre_exit
   Flush policy tables and drain the workqueue in a .pre_exit handler
   so that cleanup_net() pays one RCU grace period per batch instead
   of one per namespace, fixing stalls at high CLONE_NEWNET rates.
   From Usama Arif.

9) xfrm: input: hold netns during deferred transport reinjection
   Take a netns reference when queueing deferred transport reinjection
   work and drop it after the callback completes, keeping the skb->cb
   net pointer valid until the deferred work runs.
   From Zhengchuan Liang.

tunnels: do not assume transport header in iptunnel_pmtud_check_icmp()

2026-05-27T01:11:47+00:00

In some cases, iptunnel_pmtud_check_icmp() can be called while
skb transport header is not set.

This triggers an out-of-bound access, because
(typeof(skb->transport_header))~0U is 65535.

Access the icmp header based on IPv4 network header,
after making sure icmp->type is present in skb linear part.

Note that iptunnel_pmtud_check_icmpv6()) is fine.

xfrm: esp: restore combined single-frag length gate

2026-05-22T07:20:26+00:00

The ESP out-of-place fast path appends the trailer in esp_output_head()
before esp_output_tail() allocates the destination page frag. The
head-side gate currently checks skb->data_len and tailen separately, but
the tail code allocates a single destination frag from the combined
post-trailer skb->data_len.

Reject the page-frag fast path when the combined aligned length exceeds a
page. Otherwise skb_page_frag_refill() may fall back to a single page while
the destination sg still spans the combined skb->data_len.

Restore this combined-length page gate for both IPv4 and IPv6.

esp: fix page frag reference leak on skb_to_sgvec failure

2026-05-22T07:19:37+00:00

In esp_output_tail(), when esp->inplace is false, the old skb page frags
are replaced with a new page from the xfrm page_frag cache. The source
scatterlist (sg) is built from the old frags before the replacement, and
esp_ssg_unref() is responsible for releasing the old page references
after the crypto operation completes.

However, if the second skb_to_sgvec() call (which builds the destination
scatterlist from the new page) fails, the code jumps to error_free which
only calls kfree(tmp). The old page frag references captured in the
source scatterlist are never released:

  1. sg[] is built from old frags via skb_to_sgvec() (no extra get_page)
  2. nr_frags is set to 1 and frag[0] is replaced with the new page
  3. Second skb_to_sgvec() fails -> goto error_free
  4. kfree(tmp) frees the sg[] memory but old frags are not unref'd
  5. kfree_skb() only releases frag[0] (the new page), not the old ones

Fix this by adding a bool parameter to esp_ssg_unref() that, when true,
unconditionally unrefs the source scatterlist frags without checking
req->src and req->dst, since those fields are not yet initialized by
aead_request_set_crypt() at the point of the error. Existing callers
pass false to preserve the original behavior.

The same issue exists in both esp4 and esp6 as the code is identical.
