Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: zero opts->ext_copy on DATA_FIN-only path
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master



syzbot reported a KMSAN uninit-value in mptcp_write_data_fin() when
sending a DATA_FIN on a pure-ACK path triggered by subflow shutdown:

  BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in mptcp_write_data_fin net/mptcp/options.c:542

  Local variable opts created at:
   __tcp_transmit_skb net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:1536

mptcp_established_options_dss() copies an existing DSS mapping into
opts->ext_copy only when the skb has an MPTCP extension attached:

	if (mpext) {
		...
		opts->ext_copy = *mpext;
	}

When called via tcp_send_ack() from the subflow shutdown path, the skb
is a freshly allocated pure-ACK with no MPTCP extension, so
mptcp_get_ext(skb) returns NULL and the assignment is skipped.
mptcp_established_options_dss() still proceeds to call
mptcp_write_data_fin(... &opts->ext_copy) when snd_data_fin_enable is
set, and mptcp_write_data_fin() reads ext->use_map to decide whether to
synthesize a 1-byte DATA_FIN mapping. opts is a stack local in
__tcp_transmit_skb() and opts->mptcp is not part of the cleared
sub-group, so ext_copy is uninitialized on this path.

Zero opts->ext_copy at the start of the DSS mapping block so the
synthetic-mapping branch in mptcp_write_data_fin() runs on clean memory
regardless of whether mpext is present.

Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: zero opts->ext_copy in mptcp_established_options_dss()
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


syzbot reported two related KMSAN uninit-value reports rooted in
mptcp_established_options_dss():

1. mptcp_write_data_fin() reads ext->use_map on the subflow shutdown
   path (tcp_send_ack via mptcp_subflow_shutdown), where the skb has
   no MPTCP extension and the "opts->ext_copy = *mpext" assignment is
   skipped.

2. mptcp_write_options() reads mpext->use_ack on the data_fin
   acknowledgement path (tcp_send_ack via mptcp_send_ack from
   mptcp_check_data_fin), where the outer DSS-mapping block is
   skipped entirely (snd_data_fin_enable is false and mpext is NULL),
   yet bitfield RMW writes to opts->ext_copy.use_ack / .ack64 leave
   neighboring bits poisoned, which mptcp_write_options() then reads.

The root cause is the same in both cases: opts->ext_copy lives in a
union inside opts->mptcp, which is a plain (non-cleared) member of
the on-stack struct tcp_out_options declared in __tcp_transmit_skb().
Multiple code paths in mptcp_established_options_dss() write only
some fields of ext_copy and rely on the rest being zero, but that
precondition is never enforced.

Zero opts->ext_copy at the start of mptcp_established_options_dss()
so all subsequent writes -- including bitfield RMWs -- operate on
clean memory regardless of which path is taken.

Sorry for the noise: I forgot to add the syzbot instruction... (and I
forgot to remove the MPTCP ML from the sendmail.to option).

Hopefully now the following is correct:
