Subject: [PATCH bpf v1 0/2] bpf: tcp: Fix null-ptr-deref in arbitrary SYN Cookie
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 18:54:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323105510.51990-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@shopee.com>

bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk() does not validate the L4 protocol of the skb,
only checking skb->protocol (L3). A BPF program that calls this kfunc on
a non-TCP skb (e.g. UDP) will succeed, attaching a TCP reqsk to the skb.

When the skb enters the UDP receive path, skb_steal_sock() returns the
TCP listener socket from the reqsk. The UDP code then casts this TCP
socket to udp_sock and accesses UDP-specific fields at invalid offsets,
causing a null pointer dereference:

  BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in __udp_enqueue_schedule_skb+0x19d/0x1df0

Solution

Patch 1: Add L4 protocol validation in bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk(). Check
ip_hdr(skb)->protocol (IPv4) and ipv6_hdr(skb)->nexthdr (IPv6) against
IPPROTO_TCP, returning -EINVAL for non-TCP skbs.
Patch 2: Add selftest that calls bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk() on a UDP skb
and verifies the kfunc rejects it.

Jiayuan Chen (2):
  bpf: tcp: Reject non-TCP skb in bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk()
  selftests/bpf: Add protocol check test for bpf_sk_assign_tcp_reqsk()
