Subject: [PATCH v2] flow_dissector: fix uninit-value in __skb_flow_dissect() for ETH_ADDRS
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 10:37:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609023752.1245848-1-yun.zhou@windriver.com> (raw)

__skb_flow_dissect() unconditionally reads 12 bytes from eth_hdr(skb)
when FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_ETH_ADDRS is requested. This assumes the skb
has a valid Ethernet header at mac_header, which is not always the case.

The problem can be triggered by:
 1. Creating a TUN device in L3 mode (IFF_TUN, hard_header_len=0)
 2. Attaching a multiq qdisc with a flower filter matching on eth_src
 3. Sending a packet through AF_PACKET

Since TUN in L3 mode has no link-layer header, mac_header points to
the L3 data area. The flow dissector reads 12 bytes of uninitialized
skb memory, which then propagates through fl_set_masked_key() and is
used as a rhashtable lookup key in __fl_lookup(), as reported by KMSAN.

Rejecting the filter in the control path (at tc filter add time) is
not feasible because TC filter blocks can be shared between arbitrary
devices -- a filter installed on an Ethernet device may later classify
packets on a headerless device through a shared block. The device
association is not fixed at filter creation time.

Fix this in the data path by checking skb->dev->hard_header_len before
reading. If the device does not have a link-layer header large enough
to contain the Ethernet addresses, zero the key so the filter will not
match.
