Subject: [PATCH ipsec 1/7] xfrm: esp6: use the current sequence number for the IV
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 14:45:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930144523.435271-3-Jeremy.Jean@oss.cyber.gouv.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930144523.435271-2-Jeremy.Jean@oss.cyber.gouv.fr>
When a GSO packet is split in software for IPv6 ESP,
validate_xmit_xfrm() calls esp6_xmit() for each segment. These
segments have XFRM_GSO_SEGMENT set, but after the split, skb_is_gso()
returns false for each skb, so each call increments xo->seq.low by one
after writing the ESP sequence number.
When encryption is done in software, the AES-GCM IV is generated from
the incremented value: if the last segment has sequence number 100, it
uses 101 to generate its IV. A bug arises when the next ordinary
packet is processed: it also goes through esp6_xmit() with sequence
number 101, but since it does not have XFRM_GSO_SEGMENT, no increment
happens and the same IV is reused.
Save the full sequence number before incrementing xo->seq, and use
that value to generate the IV.
Fixes: 3dca3f38cfb8 ("xfrm: Separate ESP handling from segmentation for GRO packets.")
