Subject: [PATCH net 2/5] net/sched: act_mpls: reject short linear Ethernet headers after pop
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 05:22:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ACT-N6N4.v1.r0.20261022051412-2@mojatatu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ACT-N6N4.v1.r0.20261022051412-1@mojatatu.com>
The issue:
act_mpls POP can leave fewer than ETH_HLEN linear bytes after
skb_mpls_pop(), either standalone on an Ethernet device or chained after
act_vlan POP_ETH. A subsequent eth_type_trans() can then BUG in
__skb_pull().
The Fix:
After the pop, when the skb started as MPLS, drop it if the linear head
is shorter than ETH_HLEN. Non-MPLS pops and pushes are unaffected.
Conditions to recreate the bug:
- egress tc filter on lo: action mpls pop (standalone), or
action vlan pop_eth action mpls pop (chained).
- AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW with PACKET_VNET_HDR, hdr_len=28, and a non-linear
eth / mpls / inner-eth frame.
- The pop leaves skb_headlen(skb) < ETH_HLEN; a following
eth_type_trans() can BUG in __skb_pull().
Fixes: 040b5cfbcefa ("Fixed updating of ethertype in function skb_mpls_pop")
