Subject: [PATCH net] macsec: don't read an unset MAC header in macsec_encrypt()
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 17:36:33 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703083634.2035145-1-4ncienth@gmail.com> (raw)
macsec_encrypt() reads the Ethernet header via eth_hdr(skb)
(skb->head + skb->mac_header) to memmove() the 12 source/destination MAC
bytes forward and make room for the SecTAG.
On the AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW + PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS transmit path the skb
reaches the macsec ndo_start_xmit() with the MAC header unset, so
eth_hdr(skb) resolves to skb->head + (u16)~0 and the read is out of
bounds: a 12-byte heap over-read that is also emitted on the wire as the
frame's outer source/destination MAC. KASAN reports a slab-out-of-bounds
read in macsec_start_xmit() on 6.0; on current mainline a CONFIG_DEBUG_NET
build flags it as an unset mac header in skb_mac_header().
On the TX path the L2 header is at skb->data, so use skb_eth_hdr(), added
by commit 96cc4b69581d ("macvlan: do not assume mac_header is set in
macvlan_broadcast()") for exactly this purpose.
Fixes: c09440f7dcb3 ("macsec: introduce IEEE 802.1AE driver")
