CVE-2026-23459

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ip_tunnel: adapt iptunnel_xmit_stats() to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS Blamed commits forgot that vxlan/geneve use udp_tunnel[6]_xmit_skb() which call iptunnel_xmit_stats(). iptunnel_xmit_stats() was assuming tunnels were only using NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS. @syncp offset in pcpu_sw_netstats and pcpu_dstats is different. 32bit kernels would either have corruptions or freezes if the syncp sequence was overwritten. This patch also moves pcpu_stat_type closer to dev->{t,d}stats to avoid a potential cache line miss since iptunnel_xmit_stats() needs to read it.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: ip_tunnel: adaptar iptunnel_xmit_stats() a NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS Los commits culpables olvidaron que vxlan/geneve usan udp_tunnel[6]_xmit_skb() que llama a iptunnel_xmit_stats(). iptunnel_xmit_stats() asumía que los túneles solo usaban NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS. El desplazamiento @syncp en pcpu_sw_netstats y pcpu_dstats es diferente. Los kernels de 32 bits tendrían o bien corrupciones o congelamientos si la secuencia syncp era sobrescrita. Este parche también mueve pcpu_stat_type más cerca de dev -> {t,d}stats para evitar una posible pérdida de línea de caché ya que iptunnel_xmit_stats() necesita leerlo.
