Subject: [PATCH net v3] ipv6: seg6: clear IPv4 control block on IPIP decapsulation
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:47:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810154732.850472-1-david.lee@trailofbits.com> (raw)
From: Kyle Zeng <kylebot@openai.com>
End.DX4 and End.DT4 decapsulate an IPv4 packet through
decap_and_validate() and send it directly to IPv4 routing. The inner
packet therefore bypasses ip_rcv_core(), which normally clears IPCB
before IPv4 interprets skb->cb.
The skb instead retains IP6CB data from the outer packet. IPv6
extension-header offsets overlap IPv4 option fields, so IPv4 can treat
those offsets as saved option metadata. __ip_options_echo() can then
copy beyond the allocation for saved options.
Separate End.DX4 and End.DT4 reproducers on the unpatched v7.2-rc5
kernel both produced:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in __ip_options_echo()
Write of size 255
The End.DX4 trace passes through input_action_end_dx4_finish() and
input_action_end_dx4(), while the End.DT4 trace passes through
input_action_end_dt4().
When decap_and_validate() handles IPPROTO_IPIP, save the ingress
interface from IP6CB, clear IPCB, and restore the saved value. Doing
this in the common decapsulation path covers End.DX4, End.DT4, and
End.DT46's IPv4 arm.
Use IP6CB(skb)->iif rather than skb->skb_iif. These actions run after
l3mdev processing, which can replace skb_iif with the L3 master;
IP6CB iif still records the receiving interface set at IPv6 ingress.
Fixes: 891ef8dd2a8d ("ipv6: sr: implement additional seg6local actions")

Changes in v3:
- Clear IPCB in the common IPPROTO_IPIP decapsulation path so End.DX4,
End.DT4, and End.DT46's IPv4 arm are covered.
- Preserve the ingress interface from IP6CB instead of skb->skb_iif,
which can identify the VRF master after l3mdev processing.
- Update the Fixes tag to the commit that introduced End.DX4.
- Include the End.DX4 and End.DT4 KASAN evidence.
