Subject: [PATCH net v1 1/2] net: core: check skb_frags_readable before uncloning in skb_copy_ubufs
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 18:36:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260823183602.1051453-1-almasrymina@google.com> (raw)

skb_copy_ubufs drops clones and modifies the SKB via pskb_expand_head()
before checking for !skb_frags_readable(skb). This alters the SKB
geometry prior to throwing an -EFAULT on an invalid SKB. Check
readability first.

Fixes: 65249feb6b3d ("net: add support for skbs with unreadable frags")
