sctp: validate chunk length in the inqueue parser

2026-08-30T21:17:53Z

SCTP chunks always include a four-byte generic header, but sctp_inq_pop() currently accepts shorter declared lengths. A zero-length chunk leaves chunk_end at the current header. When ASCONF is covered by the association's SCTP-AUTH policy, sctp_assoc_bh_rcv() can continue before the state machine performs its normal chunk-length check. sctp_inq_pop() then returns the same malformed chunk repeatedly and the receive softirq can lock up. A remote SCTP peer can trigger this after establishing an association on a kernel built with CONFIG_IP_SCTP and configured with net.sctp.addip_enable=1 and net.sctp.auth_enable=1. The reproducer did not require application credentials, a shared SCTP AUTH key, or net.sctp.addip_noauth_enable=1. On commit f967455fb2a5 ("seg6: reset IP6CB after IPv6 decapsulation"), one zero-length ASCONF caused repeated watchdog soft-lockup reports in a two-vCPU KVM guest. All 3 pre-trigger health probes succeeded, while 36 of 37 post-trigger probes failed. With this change, all 37 post-trigger probes succeeded and no equivalent soft-lockup signature appeared. Reject chunks shorter than the generic SCTP header at the shared inqueue parser boundary. Mark the packet for discard before either caller can continue processing it, while preserving the four-byte generic minimum. Declared-length 1 through 4 controls and kernel-generated ASCONF traffic remained healthy. The patched sctp_hello selftest passed for IPv4 and IPv6. The complete private reproducer and validation evidence are available directly to maintainers on request.

raw: annotate disconnect-side IPv4 match writers

2026-08-30T21:14:57Z

raw_v4_match() reads inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr and sk_bound_dev_if locklessly under RCU. Bind and connect writers are annotated, but __udp_disconnect() still clears the same fields using plain stores. Commit 18f116931f52e ("raw: annotate lockless match fields in raw_v4_match()") added the lockless readers and annotated the raw bind and datagram connect writers. Its v4 revision intentionally left the shared disconnect-side IPv4 writers for follow-up cleanup. Complete that follow-up by using WRITE_ONCE() for the disconnect-side stores, including the inet_rcv_saddr reset in inet_reset_saddr(), to pair with the lockless raw socket matcher.

sctp: fix soft lockup from unpadded ASCONF-ACK parameter iteration

2026-08-30T21:14:09Z

sctp_verify_asconf() walks ASCONF-ACK parameters with sctp_walk_params(), which advances by SCTP_PAD4(length), while the consumer sctp_get_asconf_response() iterates the same parameters advancing by the raw length, without padding. A single odd-length parameter desynchronises the two walks and makes the consumer interpret attacker-controlled bytes at a misaligned offset. When those bytes yield a length of zero, the while loop over asconf_ack_len makes no progress, spinning forever in softirq context, and the watchdog reports a soft lockup. All reads stay within the received skb, so the lockup is a pure remote denial of service. A remote peer can trigger it with a crafted ASCONF-ACK on an ADD-IP enabled association with an outstanding ASCONF (RFC 5061 section 4.1.2 requires the chunk to be authenticated, but the predefined empty key id 0 allows the peer to compute the same association HMAC from publicly exchanged parameters, so the gate does not help). The SCTP_PARAM_ERR_CAUSE case of sctp_verify_asconf() also performs no length check, letting a parameter without a complete error header reach the consumer, which reads errhdr.cause past the end of the parameter, an out-of-bounds read. Reject SCTP_PARAM_ERR_CAUSE parameters shorter than sizeof(struct sctp_addip_param) + sizeof(struct sctp_errhdr) at the verifier, and advance the consumer iterator with the same padding rule as the verifier to keep the two walks in lockstep. The verifier change guarantees a complete error header in every ERR_CAUSE parameter the consumer can see, so the consumer's asconf_ack_len check is dropped and it returns err_param->cause directly. The consumer padding fix is still required because odd lengths remain valid for SCTP_PARAM_ERR_CAUSE per RFC 5061.

sctp: fix a TOCTOU race in SCTP_CMD_TIMER_START

2026-08-28T23:09:25Z

The SCTP_CMD_TIMER_START handler checks timer_pending() before calling timer_reduce(). The timer can expire and detach between these operations, causing timer_reduce() to rearm the timer without taking the association reference required for the newly armed timer. The timer callback later unconditionally drops its association reference, which can leave the association reference count unbalanced and result in use-after-free during association teardown. Use the return value of timer_reduce() to determine whether the timer was actually armed. Take the association reference only when timer_reduce() successfully starts a new timer, closing the race between checking the timer state and rearming it.

net/sched: act_api: fix skb sizing and action leak on reoffload delete

2026-08-28T22:56:06Z

tcf_reoffload_del_notify_msg() sizes the RTM_DELACTION skb with tcf_action_fill_size(action) alone. Unlike every other notification path it never wraps that in tcf_action_full_attrs_size(), so the nlmsg_put() header, struct tcamsg and the TCA_ACT_TAB nest that tca_get_fill() emits - 24 bytes on x86_64 - are not budgeted. As long as the single action stays well under NLMSG_GOODSIZE the floor in alloc_skb() hides this, but once its fill size crosses NLMSG_GOODSIZE the allocation is exactly 24 bytes short and tca_get_fill() runs out of tailroom. That is now easy to reach for an offloadable act_pedit with a large tcfp_nkeys, which commit 8e2efb3f45a5 ("net/sched: add get_fill_size callbacks for actions missing them") started accounting for properly. When that happens tcf_reoffload_del_notify() returns early, before tcf_idr_release_unsafe(), and tcf_action_reoffload_cb() discards the return value: if (tc_act_skip_sw(p->tcfa_flags) && !tc_act_in_hw(p)) tcf_reoffload_del_notify(net, p); The action has just lost its last hardware instance and is skip_sw, so it is left installed while processing no packets, and with no notification to tell userspace about it. An -ENOBUFS from alloc_skb() gets the same treatment. Fix this by budgeting the message header the way the add and delete paths do, and release the action even when the notification cannot be built - dropping the notification is strictly better than leaking a dead action, and there is no caller left to report the error to.

net/sched: act_api: size the RTM_GETACTION reply from the actions

2026-08-28T22:56:06Z

tca_action_gd() already walks every requested action and accumulates attr_size += tcf_action_fill_size(act), then wraps the result in tcf_action_full_attrs_size(). For RTM_DELACTION that value is handed to tcf_del_notify_msg(), which allocates max(attr_size, NLMSG_GOODSIZE). For RTM_GETACTION it is silently discarded and tcf_get_notify() allocates a fixed NLMSG_GOODSIZE skb instead. Any action whose dump exceeds that fixed budget therefore cannot be read back. For example, act_pedit overruns the budget with 32 actions of four munge keys each, act_police with 32 policers once the optional rate/peakrate/result/avrate attributes are present Fix this by passing attr_size through and allocate the reply the way the add and delete paths do. Note on exposure: RTM_GETACTION is the only one of the three action commands that is not capability checked - tc_ctl_action() requires CAP_NET_ADMIN for RTM_NEWACTION and RTM_DELACTION only - so this turns a fixed NLMSG_GOODSIZE reply into a user sized allocation on an unprivileged path. It is bounded by TCA_ACT_MAX_PRIO actions per request, and tca_action_gd() does not reject duplicate indices, so a single large action can be requested 32 times; an act_bpf program near BPF_MAXINSNS is about 32KB of dump, or roughly 1MB for one request. Creating such an action still requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, and the add and delete paths have sized their skbs this way since the Fixes commit. Should this ever need bounding, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT would charge the reply to the caller's memcg.

net/sched: act_api: budget all shared attributes in notify skbs

2026-08-28T22:56:05Z

tcf_action_shared_attrs_size() is supposed to return an upper bound on the netlink attributes every action dump emits outside of TCA_ACT_OPTIONS, so that tcf_add_notify_msg(), tcf_del_notify_msg() and friends can allocate an skb large enough for the reply. It has fallen behind the dump path and is now an underestimate for every single action. Attributes, such as, TCA_ACT_IN_HW_COUNT and TCA_STATS_BASIC_HW are emitted unconditionally and never accounted for. TCA_STATS_PKT64, TCA_ACT_USED_HW_STATS, TCA_STATS_RATE_EST, TCA_STATS_RATE_EST64 require specific conditions, but are also not accounted for. Fix the issue by budgeting all of them so that we have a legitimate upper bound. Even tough for of them require specific conditions, they are cheap so, to avoid overcomplicating, we opted to account for them unconditionally as well to account for a real worst case scenario.

net: iptunnel: fix stale transport header during tunnel decapsulation

The crash requires four conditions to line up: 1. The incoming packet is encapsulated and carries GSO metadata. The outer transport header offset is stored in skb->transport_header while the packet is still in the outer tunnel context. 2. The tunnel receiver strips the outer headers. skb->data is advanced to the inner frame, but skb->transport_header is left pointing to the now-removed outer L4 header, so it becomes a negative offset relative to the new data. 3. The inner frame is not delivered to the local IP stack. Instead, it is forwarded at L2 by a bridge or HSR, so ip_rcv_core() never runs and the transport header is not reset to the inner L4 offset. 4. The forwarding path calls __dev_queue_xmit(), which enters qdisc_pkt_len_segs_init(). That function computes the GSO header length from skb_transport_offset(skb). Because the offset is negative, the unsigned cast overflows and pskb_may_pull(skb, hdr_len + sizeof(struct tcphdr)) reads past the end of the skb, triggering a KASAN fault or page fault. The issue specifically requires GSO packets (shinfo->gso_size != 0), which are processed/aggregated through gro_cells. Fix this by clearing transport_header to the ~0U sentinel in gro_cell for all tunnnel driver. GTP does not support GRO/GSO, drop the evil GSO packets in GTP directly.
