In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, sockmap: Fix panic when calling skb_linearize The panic can be reproduced by executing the command: ./bench sockmap -c 2 -p 1 -a --rx-verdict-ingress --rx-strp 100000 Then a kernel panic was captured: ''' [ 657.460555] kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:2178!

A previous commit(see Fixes tag) introduced skb_get() to avoid race conditions between skb operations in the backlog and skb release in the recvmsg path. However, this caused the panic to always occur when skb_linearize is executed. The "--rx-strp 100000" parameter forces the RX path to use the strparser module which aggregates data until it reaches 100KB before calling sockmap logic. The 100KB payload exceeds MAX_MSG_FRAGS, triggering skb_linearize. To fix this issue, just move skb_get into sk_psock_skb_ingress_enqueue. ''' sk_psock_backlog: sk_psock_handle_skb skb_get(skb) <== we move it into 'sk_psock_skb_ingress_enqueue' sk_psock_skb_ingress____________ ↓ | | → sk_psock_skb_ingress_self | sk_psock_skb_ingress_enqueue sk_psock_verdict_apply_________________↑ skb_linearize ''' Note that for verdict_apply path, the skb_get operation is unnecessary so we add 'take_ref' param to control it's behavior.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: bpf, sockmap: Se corrige el pánico al llamar a skb_linearize El pánico se puede reproducir ejecutando el comando: ./bench sockmap -c 2 -p 1 -a --rx-verdict-ingress --rx-strp 100000 Luego se capturó un pánico del kernel: ''' [ 657.460555] kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:2178!

Una confirmación anterior (véase la etiqueta "Correcciones") introdujo skb_get() para evitar condiciones de ejecución entre las operaciones de skb en el backlog y la versión de skb en la ruta recvmsg. Sin embargo, esto provocaba que el pánico siempre se produjera al ejecutar skb_linearize. El parámetro "--rx-strp 100000" obliga a la ruta RX a usar el módulo strparser, que agrega datos hasta alcanzar los 100 KB antes de llamar a la lógica de sockmap. El payload de 100 KB supera MAX_MSG_FRAGS, lo que activa skb_linearize. Para solucionar este problema, simplemente mueva skb_get a sk_psock_skb_ingress_enqueue. ''' sk_psock_backlog: sk_psock_handle_skb skb_get(skb) &lt;== lo movemos a 'sk_psock_skb_ingress_enqueue' sk_psock_skb_ingress____________ ? | | ? sk_psock_skb_ingress_self | sk_psock_skb_ingress_enqueue sk_psock_verdict_apply_________________? skb_linearize ''' Tenga en cuenta que para la ruta verdict_apply, la operación skb_get es innecesaria, por lo que añadimos el parámetro 'take_ref' para controlar su comportamiento.
