Subject: [PATCH 6.18 02/13] net/sched: Only allow act_ct to bind to clsact/ingress qdiscs and shared blocks
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 21:03:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312200326.338141533@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312200326.246396673@linuxfoundation.org>

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Victor Nogueira <victor@mojatatu.com>

commit 11cb63b0d1a0685e0831ae3c77223e002ef18189 upstream.

As Paolo said earlier [1]:

"Since the blamed commit below, classify can return TC_ACT_CONSUMED while
the current skb being held by the defragmentation engine. As reported by
GangMin Kim, if such packet is that may cause a UaF when the defrag engine
later on tries to tuch again such packet."

act_ct was never meant to be used in the egress path, however some users
are attaching it to egress today [2]. Attempting to reach a middle
ground, we noticed that, while most qdiscs are not handling
TC_ACT_CONSUMED, clsact/ingress qdiscs are. With that in mind, we
address the issue by only allowing act_ct to bind to clsact/ingress
qdiscs and shared blocks. That way it's still possible to attach act_ct to
egress (albeit only with clsact).
