Subject: [PATCH 6.1 19/79] packet: use consistent hard_header_len in non-ring send paths
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 15:25:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825132542.430065477@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825132541.677185791@linuxfoundation.org>

6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Qihang Tang <q.h.hack.winter@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 03390aa32e669cc4ecd7d34108e2e1afc13d689d ]

packet_snd() reads dev->hard_header_len multiple times while allocating
and constructing an skb. Device reconfiguration can change this value
concurrently, for example through bonding device type changes.

For SOCK_RAW, packet_snd() can save a larger value in reserve and later
allocate headroom using a smaller value. Moving skb->data back by reserve
then places it before skb->head, and the following copy from userspace can
attempt an out-of-bounds write.

packet_sendmsg_spkt() has the same issue because it calculates its
reservation and header offset from separate reads before dropping the RCU
read lock to allocate the skb.

Add LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EX() for callers that already saved a header length.
Read hard_header_len once in packet_snd() and use it for allocation and
construction. In packet_sendmsg_spkt(), preserve the allocation-time value
through the device lookup retry.

The separate SOCK_DGRAM consistency problem between hard_header_len and
header_ops->create is not addressed here.

Fixes: b84bbaf7a6c8 ("packet: in packet_snd start writing at link layer allocation")
