Subject: [PATCH net v2] tipc: fix divide-by-zero in tipc_sk_filter_connect()
Date: Fri,  6 Mar 2026 13:50:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306185005.22120-1-mehulrao@gmail.com> (raw)

A user can set conn_timeout to any value via
setsockopt(TIPC_CONN_TIMEOUT), including values less than 4.  When a
SYN is rejected with TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD and the retry path in
tipc_sk_filter_connect() executes:

    delay %= (tsk->conn_timeout / 4);

If conn_timeout is in the range [0, 3], the integer division yields 0,
and the modulo operation triggers a divide-by-zero exception, causing a
kernel oops/panic.

Fix this by clamping conn_timeout to a minimum of 4 at the point of use
in tipc_sk_filter_connect().

Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI

Changes in v2:
- Clamp conn_timeout at the point of use in tipc_sk_filter_connect()
  instead of rejecting small values in tipc_setsockopt()
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260305215336.645186-1-mehulrao@gmail.com/
