Subject: [PATCH 1/8] xfrm6: fix out-of-bounds write in xfrm6_input_addr() when secpath is full
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 08:50:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729065035.1591985-2-steffen.klassert@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729065035.1591985-1-steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
From: Xiang Mei <xmei5@asu.edu>
The depth check in xfrm6_input_addr() is off by one:
if (1 + sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH)
goto drop;
...
sp->xvec[sp->len++] = x;
xfrm_input() can leave sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH, and the transport-mode
receive path re-enters IPv6 input via xfrm_trans_reinject() with that
secpath preserved. If the inner packet carries a destination-options HAO
option or a type-2 routing header, xfrm6_input_addr() is called with
sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH; the check (1 + 6 == 6) is false, so
sp->xvec[sp->len++] writes one slot past the 6-element xvec[]. The write
stays within the sec_path allocation (invisible to KASAN); UBSAN_BOUNDS
flags it and panics under panic_on_warn.
Use "sp->len >= XFRM_MAX_DEPTH", matching xfrm_input(). This also
restores one chain level the old check rejected at sp->len == 5.
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in net/ipv6/xfrm6_input.c:309:10
index 6 is out of range for type 'xfrm_state *[6]'
Fixes: 9473e1f631de ("[XFRM] MIPv6: Fix to input RO state correctly.")
