Subject: [PATCH v4 net] net: ax25: fix integer overflow in ax25_rx_fragment()
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 04:49:21 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413204921.70463-1-mashiro.chen@mailbox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409025026.24575-1-mashiro.chen@mailbox.org>
ax25_rx_fragment() accumulates fragment lengths into ax25_cb->fraglen,
which is an unsigned short. When the total exceeds 65535, fraglen wraps
around to a small value. The subsequent alloc_skb(fraglen) allocates a
too-small buffer, and skb_put() in the copy loop triggers skb_over_panic().
Add pskb_may_pull(skb, 1) at function entry to ensure the segmentation
header byte is in the linear data area before dereferencing skb->data.
This also rejects zero-length skbs, which the original code did not
check for.
Two issues in the overflow error path are also fixed:
First, the current skb, after skb_pull(skb, 1), is neither enqueued
nor freed before returning 1, leaking it. Add kfree_skb(skb) before
the return.
Second, ax25->fraglen is not reset after skb_queue_purge(). Add
ax25->fraglen = 0 to restore a consistent state.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
