Subject: [PATCH net] net/sched: sch_frag: reject a negative L2 length in sch_fragment()
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:23:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827092345.2301937-1-fouriezhang@tencent.com> (raw)
sch_fragment() bounds the L2 header length only from above:
if (skb_network_offset(skb) > VLAN_ETH_HLEN)
skb_network_offset() returns int and the comparison is signed, so a
negative offset passes. sch_frag_prepare_frag() then stores it in an
unsigned int and uses it as a memcpy() length into the 18-byte per-CPU
l2_data buffer:
unsigned int hlen = skb_network_offset(skb);
memcpy(&data->l2_data, skb->data, hlen);
The offset is negative whenever the network header sits behind
skb->data. ipv6_srh_rcv() runs in that state, because
ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu() pulls each extension header as it walks the
chain and the segments_left > 0 branch pushes back only
sizeof(struct ipv6hdr). act_ct enables the static key that gates
sch_frag_xmit_hook() and sets tc_skb_cb(skb)->mru, which survives
receive and forward, so an act_mirred redirect from a root qdisc can
reach sch_fragment() with the offset still negative.
A negative L2 header length is invalid, so reject it through the existing
"L2 header too long to fragment" path. A non-negative offset behaves
exactly as before.
Reproduced on v7.2 by an unprivileged user with only
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWNET). RDX is the truncated length,
(unsigned int)(-42):
RIP: 0010:memcpy+0x8/0x20
RDX: 00000000ffffffd6
sch_frag_prepare_frag+0x364/0x440 net/sched/sch_frag.c:74
sch_fragment+0x1c7/0x7a0 net/sched/sch_frag.c:122
tcf_mirred_to_dev+0x7a9/0xf10
ip6_forward+0x114b/0x31b0
ipv6_rthdr_rcv+0x40d7/0x5e10
With the patch applied the drop path fires and the packet is discarded.
Fixes: c129412f74e9 ("net/sched: sch_frag: add generic packet fragment support.")
