Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] net/sched: act_mirred: don't send decrypted skbs from egress to ingress
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 10:55:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113185553.171059-2-toddfreed@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113185553.171059-1-toddfreed@meta.com>

On transmit, skb->decrypted means that the device must encrypt the
packet, e.g. a packet of a kTLS or PSP device offload socket.

On receive, skb->decrypted means that the device decrypted the packet,
and kTLS device offload trusts it as such (tls_device_decrypted()).

A packet which mirred redirects or mirrors from egress to ingress keeps
the bit. On ingress, it then claims to have been decrypted by the device,
although it was never encrypted, and its payload, which was to be
encrypted before leaving the host, could then be forwarded in cleartext.

Clearing skb->decrypted would not work, because that is what indicates
intent to encrypt the packet.

Don't send decrypted skbs from egress to ingress: a redirected one is
dropped, a mirrored one isn't copied.

Fixes: 414776621d10 ("net/tls: prevent skb_orphan() from leaking TLS plain text with offload")
