Subject: [PATCH net v2] mctp: route: iterate socket tag list in mctp_lookup_prealloc_tag()
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 05:10:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921051002.1656692-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <159f68ef9444f8b44a6d5764de8696f094fa889d.camel@codeconstruct.com.au>
When a socket transmits a packet with MCTP_TAG_PREALLOC set,
mctp_lookup_prealloc_tag() iterates over the per-netns &mns->keys list
and matches netid, req_tag, peer_addr, and manual_alloc, without
checking whether tmp->sk == &msk->sk. This allows any MCTP socket in the
same network namespace to use and consume another socket's preallocated
tag.
Iterate the socket's own tag list (&msk->keys via sklist) instead of the
namespace-wide &mns->keys list in mctp_lookup_prealloc_tag(), ensuring
that only tags allocated by msk are matched.
Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 by allocating a manual tag
(0x18) on socket A via SIOCMCTPALLOCTAG for peer EID 9 and sending a
4-byte message with MCTP_TAG_PREALLOC from socket B in the same network
namespace. On the unfixed kernel, sendto(sock_b) using socket A's
preallocated tag succeeds (ret = 4); with this patch applied,
sendto(sock_b) fails with -ENOENT (errno = 2) while sendto(sock_a)
succeeds (ret = 4).
Fixes: 63ed1aab3d40 ("mctp: Add SIOCMCTP{ALLOC,DROP}TAG ioctls for tag control")

Changes in v2:
- Iterate &msk->keys via sklist instead of walking &mns->keys and checking
tmp->sk != &msk->sk, as suggested by Jeremy Kerr.
