Subject: [PATCH v2 net 1/4] llc: fix skb UAF and leaks on llc_mac_hdr_init() failure
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 08:29:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924082951.1599377-2-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924082951.1599377-1-edumazet@google.com>

In llc_conn_ac_resend_i_xxx_x_set_0_or_send_rr(), if llc_mac_hdr_init()
fails, kfree_skb(skb) is called instead of kfree_skb(nskb). This leaks
the newly allocated nskb, reads from the freed skb via LLC_I_GET_NR(pdu),
and double-frees skb when llc_conn_state_process() drops its reference.

In llc_sap_action_send_xid_r() and llc_sap_action_send_test_r(), nskb is
leaked if llc_mac_hdr_init() returns an error.

Free nskb in all three error paths.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/179022851638.2160803.1808206741379444999@kernel.org/
