CVE-2026-74577: net: mpls: initialize rtm_tos in mpls_getroute()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: mpls: initialize rtm_tos in mpls_getroute()

mpls_getroute() builds the RTM_NEWROUTE reply to an RTM_GETROUTE
request by filling a struct rtmsg allocated from an skb whose data
area is not zeroed (alloc_skb(NLMSG_GOODSIZE, ...)). It sets every
field of the header except rtm_tos:

	r = nlmsg_data(nlh);
	r->rtm_family	 = AF_MPLS;
	r->rtm_dst_len	= 20;
	r->rtm_src_len	= 0;
	r->rtm_table	= RT_TABLE_MAIN;
	r->rtm_type	= RTN_UNICAST;
	r->rtm_scope	= RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE;
	r->rtm_protocol = rt->rt_protocol;
	r->rtm_flags	= 0;

struct rtmsg has no padding, so the one uninitialised byte rtm_tos
(offset 3) is copied straight to user space on recvmsg(), leaking a
byte of uninitialised heap memory. This is in contrast to
mpls_dump_route(), which fills the very same header and does set
rtm_tos = 0.

Initialize rtm_tos to 0, matching mpls_dump_route().

Reproduced with KMSAN by adding an MPLS route and issuing a
non-RTM_F_FIB_MATCH RTM_GETROUTE for its label:

  BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in _copy_to_iter+0x36c/0x33f0

   ...
  Byte 19 of 64 is uninitialized

(byte 19 = nlmsghdr(16) + rtmsg offset 3 = rtm_tos)

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74577 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
