Subject: [PATCH net] xsk: reject tx_metadata_len smaller than struct xsk_tx_metadata
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 11:52:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720155210.34229-1-blbllhy@gmail.com> (raw)

xdp_umem_reg() validates tx_metadata_len for upper bound (<256) and
alignment (%8) but not a lower bound.  xsk_skb_metadata() computes
meta = buffer - pool->tx_metadata_len then unconditionally accesses
the full 24-byte struct xsk_tx_metadata, so any value less than
sizeof(struct xsk_tx_metadata) allows an out-of-bounds read.

KASAN reports this as:

  BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in xsk_skb_metadata+0x4b2/0x500
  Read of size 8 at addr ffffc90000f11000 by task exploit/148

  xsk_skb_metadata (net/xdp/xsk.c:837)
  xsk_build_skb (net/xdp/xsk.c)
  __xsk_generic_xmit (net/xdp/xsk.c)
  xsk_sendmsg (net/xdp/xsk.c)

Add a lower-bound check in xdp_umem_reg() to reject tx_metadata_len
values that cannot cover the full metadata struct.

Fixes: 341ac980eab9 ("xsk: Support tx_metadata_len")
