Subject: [PATCH] net/packet: zero-pad spkt_device and preserve sa.origlen across MSG_PEEK
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 21:52:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919215237.3470987-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
Fix two issues in net/packet/af_packet.c:
1. In packet_rcv_spkt(), use strscpy_pad() instead of strscpy() when
populating spkt->spkt_device so trailing bytes after dev->name's NUL
terminator in the 14-byte buffer are zeroed.
2. In packet_recvmsg(), PACKET_SKB_CB(skb)->sa.origlen aliases
sll->sll_family and sll->sll_protocol inside the union. Overwriting
sll->sll_family and sll->sll_protocol in PACKET_SKB_CB(skb) directly
clobbers sa.origlen for subsequent recvmsg(MSG_PEEK | MSG_TRUNC) calls
on the same skb. Instead, write sll_family and sll_protocol into the
destination msg->msg_name buffer after copying PACKET_SKB_CB(skb)->sa.
Fixes: 2472d7613bd3 ("net: packet: use sockaddr_ll fields as storage for skb original length in recvmsg path")
