Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] inet: frags: limit the truesize of a reassembly queue
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 15:12:29 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111201210.4044623-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109201643-failed-6.1-3ae20e4697eb@kernel.org>
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 3ae20e4697eb969104fe4b1e98a675f0100382b6 ]
The truesize of fragments in a reassembly queue is only bounded by
the per netns ipfrag_high_thresh sysctl, which has no upper limit.
inet_frag_reasm_finish() sums the truesize of all fragments in an int.
If this sum reaches 2^32, it wraps, and the final sk_wmem_alloc
adjustment of the socket owning the reassembled skb can cancel its own
reference, leading to a use-after-free of this socket.
This can be triggered from an unprivileged user/network namespace,
raising ipfrag_high_thresh and using padded TUN packets, which keep
a large truesize after being trimmed by ip_rcv_core().
Track the sum of the truesize of fragments in each queue, and refuse
a fragment that would make it bigger than INT_MAX / 2. Callers kill
the queue on this error. This bound is far above the needs of
legitimate traffic.
