Subject: [PATCH net] ip: skip IPv4 cmsgs for non-IPv4 packets
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 07:19:22 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825221922.85651-1-4ncienth@gmail.com> (raw)

IPV6_ADDRFORM can convert an IPv6 UDP socket while a native IPv6 packet
is still queued for reception.  The converted socket then receives the
packet through udp_recvmsg(), which passes it to ip_cmsg_recv_offset() as
if it were IPv4.

This makes the IPv4 ancillary-data code interpret inet6_skb_parm as
inet_skb_parm.  In particular, IP_RETOPTS can take the IPv6 lastopt and
nhoff offsets as an IPv4 option length and RR offset.  A destination
options header can then make __ip_options_echo() copy more than the
40-byte stack option buffer.

KASAN reported a 152-byte write on 3/3 fresh v6.12.105 boots and 3/3
fresh v7.2 boots.  A production-shaped v6.12.105 build instead reached a
hardened-usercopy BUG followed by a fatal-exception panic on 3/3 boots.

Check the skb protocol before parsing SOL_IP control messages.  This
preserves the queued payload while omitting incompatible ancillary data,
and also protects callers processing a stale non-IPv4 error-queue skb.
With this change the trigger returned its payload without a control
message or a target KASAN report on 3/3 fresh boots; both controls passed.
