* [PATCH net,v2 00/14] Netfilter fixes for net
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso @ 2026-06-20 22:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netfilter-devel; +Cc: davem, netdev, kuba, pabeni, edumazet, fw, horms
This is v2, dropping two patches that need a bit more work,
uncovered by sashiko. I have revisit the working of this cover
letter to refine it.
-o-
Hi,
The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net. This batches
fixes for real crashes with trivial/correctness fixes. There is too
a rework of the conntrack expectation timeout strategy to deal with
a possible race when removing an expectation.
1) Fix the incorrect flowtable timeout extension for entries in
hw offload, from Adrian Bente. This is correcting a defect in
the functionality, no crash.
2) Hold reference to device under the fake dst in br_netfilter,
from Haoze Xie. This is fixing a possible UaF if the device
is removed while packet is sitting in nfqueue.
3) Reject template conntrack in xt_cluster, otherwise access to
uninitialize conntrack fields are possible leading to WARN_ON
due to unset layer 3 protocol. From Wyatt Feng.
4) Make sure the IPv6 tunnel header is in the linear skb data
area before pulling. While at it remove incomplete NEXTHDR_DEST
support. From Lorenzo Bianconi. This possibly leading to crash
if IPv4 header is not in the linear area.
5) Use test_bit_acquire in ipset hash set to avoid reordering
of subsequent memory access. This is addressing a LLM related
report, no crash has been observed. From Jozsef Kadlecsik.
6) Use test_bit_acquire in ipset bitmap set too, for the same
reason as in the previous patch, from Jozsef Kadlecsik.
7) Call kfree_rcu() after rcu_assign_pointer() to address a
possible UaF if kfree_rcu() runs inmediately, which to my
understanding never happens. Never observed in practise,
reported by LLM. Also from Jozsef Kadlecsik.
8) Use disable_delayed_work_sync() instead cancel_delayed_work_sync()
to avoid that ipset GC handler re-queues work as reported by LLM.
From Jozsef Kadlecsik. This is for correctness.
9) Restore the check in nft_payload for exceeding payloda offset
over 2^16. From Florian Westphal. This fixes a silent truncation,
not a big deal, but better be assertive and reject it.
10) Validate NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR can only run from bridge
prerouting. From Florian Westphal. Harmless but it could allow
to read bytes from skb->cb.
11) Zero out destination hardware address during the flowtable
path setup, also from Florian. This is a correctness fix, LLM
points that possible infoleak can happen but topology to achieve
it is not clear.
12) Skip IPv4 options if present when building the IPV4 reject reply.
Otherwise bytes in the IPv4 options header can be sent back to
origin where the ICMP header is being expected. Again from
Florian Westphal.
13) Replace timer API for expectation by GC worker approach. This
is implicitly fixing a race between nf_ct_remove_expectations()
which might fail to remove the expectation due to timer_del()
returning false because timer has expired and callback is
being run concurrently. This fix is addressing a crash that has
been already reported with a reproducer.
14) Check if br_vlan_get_pvid_rcu() fails, otherwise possible stack
infoleak of 4-bytes. From Florian Westphal.

* [PATCH net 01/14] netfilter: flowtable: fix offloaded ct timeout never being extended
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso @ 2026-06-20 22:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netfilter-devel; +Cc: davem, netdev, kuba, pabeni, edumazet, fw, horms
In-Reply-To: <20260620222738.112506-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Adrian Bente <adibente@gmail.com>
OpenWrt has recently migrated many platforms to kernel 6.18. On the
MediaTek platform, which supports hardware network offloading, WiFi
connections accelerated via the WED path were observed to drop after
roughly 300 seconds.
After several debugging sessions, assisted by the Claude LLM, the
problem was narrowed down as follows:
nf_flow_table_extend_ct_timeout() extends ct->timeout for offloaded
flows using:
cmpxchg(&ct->timeout, expires, new_timeout);
'expires' comes from nf_ct_expires(ct) and is a relative value, while
ct->timeout holds an absolute timestamp. The two are never equal, so
the cmpxchg always fails and the timeout is never extended.
This goes unnoticed for most flows, but a long-lived hardware (WED)
offloaded flow on MediaTek MT7986 eventually has ct->timeout decay to
zero, the conntrack entry is reaped and the connection breaks.
Open-code the relative value from a single READ_ONCE(ct->timeout)
snapshot and compare against that same absolute snapshot in the
cmpxchg, so the timeout extension actually takes effect while the
datapath remains authoritative if it updates ct->timeout concurrently.

* [PATCH net 02/14] netfilter: nf_queue: pin bridge device while NFQUEUE holds fake dst
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso @ 2026-06-20 22:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netfilter-devel; +Cc: davem, netdev, kuba, pabeni, edumazet, fw, horms
In-Reply-To: <20260620222738.112506-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Haoze Xie <royenheart@gmail.com>
The br_netfilter fake rtable is embedded in struct net_bridge and is
attached to bridged packets with skb_dst_set_noref(). If such a packet is
queued to NFQUEUE, __nf_queue() upgrades that fake dst with
skb_dst_force().
At that point the queued skb can hold a real dst reference after bridge
teardown has started. The problem is not that every bridged packet needs
its own dst reference. The problem is that NFQUEUE can keep the bridge
private fake dst alive after unregister begins.
Fix this by keeping the bridge fake dst model unchanged and pinning the
bridge master device only while the packet sits in NFQUEUE. Record the
bridge device in nf_queue_entry when the queued skb carries a bridge fake
dst, take a device reference for the queue lifetime, and drop it when the
queue entry is freed.
Also make sure queued entries are reaped when that bridge device goes
down, and drop the redundant nf_bridge_info_exists() test from the fake
dst detection.
This keeps netdev_priv(br->dev) alive until verdict completion, so the
embedded fake rtable and its metrics backing storage cannot be freed out
from under dst_release(). It also avoids the constant refcount bump and
avoids using ipv4-specific dst helpers for IPv6 bridge traffic.

* [PATCH net 03/14] netfilter: xt_cluster: reject template conntracks in hash match
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso @ 2026-06-20 22:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netfilter-devel; +Cc: davem, netdev, kuba, pabeni, edumazet, fw, horms
In-Reply-To: <20260620222738.112506-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Wyatt Feng <bronzed_45_vested@icloud.com>
xt_cluster_mt() treats any non-NULL nf_ct_get() result as a fully
initialized conntrack and passes it to xt_cluster_hash().
This causes a state confusion bug when the raw table CT target attaches
a template conntrack to skb->_nfct before normal conntrack processing.
Templates carry IPS_TEMPLATE status but do not have a valid tuple for
hashing yet, so xt_cluster_hash() can hit its WARN_ON() path on the
zeroed l3num field.
Reject template conntracks before hashing them. This matches existing
netfilter handling for template objects and avoids hashing incomplete
conntrack state.

From: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@netfilter.org>
Sashiko pointed out that there are a few lockless RCU readers
using test_bit() which is a relaxed atomic operation and
provides no memory barrier guarantees. Use test_bit_acquire()
instead where the operation may run parallel with add/del/gc,
i.e. is not one from the next cases
- protected by region lock
- in a set destroy phase
- in a new/temporary set creation phase

* [PATCH net 04/14] netfilter: flowtable: fix and simplify IP6IP6 tunnel handling
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso @ 2026-06-20 22:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netfilter-devel; +Cc: davem, netdev, kuba, pabeni, edumazet, fw, horms
In-Reply-To: <20260620222738.112506-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org>
Fix nf_flow_ip6_tunnel_proto() to use pskb_may_pull() instead of
skb_header_pointer() to ensure the outer IPv6 header is in the skb
headroom, which is required for subsequent packet processing. Move
ctx->offset update inside the IPPROTO_IPV6 conditional block since it
should only be adjusted when an IP6IP6 tunnel is actually detected.
Simplify the rx path by removing ipv6_skip_exthdr() and checking
ip6h->nexthdr directly, as the flowtable fast path only handles simple
IP6IP6 encapsulation without extension headers.
Drop the tunnel encapsulation limit destination option support from the
tx path to match, since the rx path no longer handles extension headers.
Remove the encap_limit parameter from nf_flow_offload_ipv6_forward(),
nf_flow_tunnel_ip6ip6_push() and nf_flow_tunnel_v6_push(), along with
the ipv6_tel_txoption struct and related headroom/MTU adjustments.
Fixes: d98103575dcdd ("netfilter: flowtable: Add IP6IP6 rx sw acceleration")

In-Reply-To: <20260620222738.112506-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@netfilter.org>
Sashiko noticed that when destroying a set,
cancel_delayed_work_sync() was called while gc
calls queue_delayed_work() unconditionally which
can lead not to properly shutting down the gc.

Large offsets were rejected based on netlink policy, but blamed commit
removed the policy without updating nft_payload_inner_init() to use the

Silent truncation is not a problem, but not wanted either, so add a

* [PATCH net 10/14] netfilter: nft_meta_bridge: add validate callback for get operations
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso @ 2026-06-20 22:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netfilter-devel; +Cc: davem, netdev, kuba, pabeni, edumazet, fw, horms
In-Reply-To: <20260620222738.112506-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Blamed commit added NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR to the set validate callback,
yet this is a get operation.
Add a get validate callback and move the NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR key
there.
AFAICS this is harmless, NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR can deal with a NULL
input device and the set handler ignores a NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR
operation, but it allows to read 4 bytes off bridge skb->cb[].

* [PATCH net 11/14] netfilter: nft_flow_offload: zero device address for non-ether case
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso @ 2026-06-20 22:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netfilter-devel; +Cc: davem, netdev, kuba, pabeni, edumazet, fw, horms
In-Reply-To: <20260620222738.112506-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
LLM points out that the skip causes unitialised stack array to
propagate down into dev_fill_forward_path(). Its not clear to me that
there is a guarantee that a later ctx.dev->netdev_ops->ndo_fill_forward_path()
would always fix this up.

* [PATCH net 13/14] netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: use conntrack GC to reap expectations
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso @ 2026-06-20 22:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netfilter-devel; +Cc: davem, netdev, kuba, pabeni, edumazet, fw, horms
In-Reply-To: <20260620222738.112506-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
This patch replaces the timer API by GC worker approach for
expectations, as it already happened in many other subsystems.
Use the existing conntrack GC worker to iterate over the local list of
expectations in the master conntrack to reap expired expectations.
Check IPS_HELPER_BIT to run GC for expectations, set it on for nft_ct
expectation which nevers sets it. Hold the expectation spinlock while
iterating over the master conntrack expectation list to synchronize with
nf_ct_remove_expectations(). This also performs runtime packet path
garbage collection through the expectation insertion and lookup
functions while walking over one of the chains of the global expectation
hashtables. Unconfirmed conntrack entries are skipped since ct->ext can
be reallocated and dying are skipped since those will be gone soon.
Set on IPS_HELPER_BIT if the helper ct extension is added, then the new
GC worker does not need to bump the ct refcount to check if the ct->ext
helper is available.
This removes the extra bump on the refcount for expectation timers, this
allows to remove several nf_ct_expect_put() calls after the unlink,
after this update only refcount remains at 1 while on the expectation
hashes.
This patch implicitly addresses a race with the existing timer API
allowing an expectation to access a stale exp->master pointer which has
been already released when expectation removal loses races with an
expiring timer, ie. timer_del() reporting false.
Add a new NF_CT_EXPECT_DEAD flag to reap this expectation via GC. This
is needed by nf_conntrack_unexpect_related() which is called in error
paths to invalidate newly created expectations that has been added into
the hashes. These expectactions cannot be inmediately released as GC or
nf_ct_remove_expectations() could race to make it. On expectation
insert, the runtime GC reaps stale expectations before checking the
expectation limit set by policy.
Set current timestamp in nf_ct_expect_alloc(), then add the expectation
policy timeout (or custom timeout specified added on top of this) to
specify the expectation lifetime.

* Re: [PATCH net] tipc: restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints

Hi Li Xiasong,
I see this patch was merged into net.git as commit acd7df8d9554 — thanks
for the fix. However, a Sashiko AI code review [1] flagged that
`tipc_poll()` in the same file has the identical pre-existing issue: it
calls `trace_tipc_sk_poll()` with `TIPC_DUMP_ALL`, which triggers a dump
of all socket queues without holding the socket owner lock. The merged
fix addressed `tipc_sk_enqueue()` but left `tipc_poll()` unchanged.
I was able to reproduce the remaining use-after-free in QEMU with KASAN
by racing `tipc_poll()` against `tipc_recvmsg()` on the same socket.
On Wed, Jun 11, 2026 at 09:56:47PM +0800, Li Xiasong wrote:

Your fix correctly restricts the `tipc_sk_enqueue()` tracepoints, but
`tipc_poll()` still uses `TIPC_DUMP_ALL`:
```c
// net/tipc/socket.c:tipc_poll()
trace_tipc_sk_poll(sk, NULL, TIPC_DUMP_ALL, " ");
```
This triggers `tipc_sk_dump()` → `tipc_list_dump()` to walk
`sk->sk_receive_queue` without holding `sk->sk_lock.slock`. If
`tipc_recvmsg()` concurrently dequeues and frees an skb from that
queue, the tracepoint dump reads freed memory.
[Reproduction]
Two threads on the same TIPC SOCK_DGRAM socket, with the
`tipc_sk_poll` tracepoint enabled:
- Thread 1: loops on poll() → trace_tipc_sk_poll → tipc_sk_dump
- Thread 2: loops on recvfrom() → frees skbs from the receive queue
while the tracepoint walks it

the `tipc_poll()` tracepoint, since poll() does not hold the socket lock
that protects the other queues.

* [PATCH] net: wwan: t7xx: destroy DMA pool on CLDMA late init failure

Cc: netdev, linux-kernel, Haoxiang Li, stable
t7xx_cldma_late_init() creates md_ctrl->gpd_dmapool before
initializing the TX and RX rings. If any ring initialization
fails, the error path frees the already initialized rings but
leaves the DMA pool allocated.
Destroy md_ctrl->gpd_dmapool on the late-init failure path
to avoid leaking the DMA pool.

Hi Jakub,
I'm sorry that I can't test the fix.
I've left from Suplus and don't have the relevant hardware.

That adds up, so not allocating them makes sense.
Maybe check if the functions you are adding tests to can actually be
called for dummy ports. They should not have a netdev, so that often
means there is no path to call these functions.

* [PATCH net v5 0/2] xfrm: fix async crypto (-EINPROGRESS) handling in validate_xmit_xfrm()

This series fixes how the async crypto path (-EINPROGRESS from ->xmit())
is handled in validate_xmit_xfrm() and its callers.
Patch 1 (previously sent on its own, v1-v4) makes validate_xmit_xfrm()
return ERR_PTR(-EINPROGRESS) instead of NULL when a packet is stolen by
async crypto, so __dev_queue_xmit() can tell it apart from a real drop
and stop reporting -ENOMEM on noqueue/bridge interfaces. v5 also covers
the GSO segment loop, as Sabrina pointed out.
Patch 2 fixes a use-after-free found while looking at that GSO loop:
validate_xmit_xfrm() unlinks async-stolen segments but never updates the
list head ->prev, which validate_xmit_skb_list() later dereferences.
Changes in v5:
- 1/2: also propagate ERR_PTR(-EINPROGRESS) from the GSO segment loop
(the 2nd ->xmit() call); v4 only handled the single-skb path. Restore
the blank line in validate_xmit_skb_list(). Add the missing
maintainers to Cc. (Sabrina Dubroca)
- 2/2: new patch -- fix the stale skb->prev use-after-free (also flagged
by Sashiko)
Changes in v4:
- Drop bool stolen tracking and the ERR_PTR return in
validate_xmit_skb_list(); use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() so stolen skbs are
silently skipped (Sabrina Dubroca)
- Drop ERR_PTR(-EINPROGRESS) handling in __dev_direct_xmit() (Sabrina Dubroca)
- Move validate_xmit_skb() return-value comment above the function
(Sabrina Dubroca)
Changes in v3:
- validate_xmit_skb_list(): set stolen=true only for -EINPROGRESS
(Sabrina Dubroca)
Changes in v2:
- Reset rc to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS only when PTR_ERR(skb) == -EINPROGRESS
(Sabrina Dubroca)
