Subject: [PATCH net] mpls: reload header after pskb_may_pull()
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 17:54:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814095404.7205-1-a0yami@mailbox.org> (raw)
mpls_select_multipath() calls mpls_multipath_hash() to choose a nexthop
when an MPLS route has multiple nexthops. While walking the MPLS label
stack, the hash routine caches hdr for the current label. After finding
the bottom-of-stack label, it calls pskb_may_pull() before reading the
inner IP header.
If an skb is constructed with the inner IP header in nonlinear data and
insufficient tailroom in the linear head, pskb_may_pull() calls
pskb_expand_head() to replace the skb head and free the old one. This
leaves hdr pointing to freed memory. The IPv6 path can invalidate hdr
again when it performs a second pull for the larger header.
The issue was found through static analysis. A reproducer sending a legal
Geneve packet through a bareudp/MPLS multipath setup triggered the same
KASAN report in 2 of 2 unpatched runs:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in mpls_select_multipath
Read of size 1 at addr ffff88800ecc6e20 by task ksoftirqd/1/23
Call Trace:

Freed by task 23:

Reload hdr from the current skb head after each successful pull before
deriving the inner IPv4 or IPv6 header pointer.
