Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] rxrpc: Fix conn-level packet handling to unshare RESPONSE packets
Date: Sun, 3 May 2026 10:33:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260503143317.1089945-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026050141-endearing-facedown-3f88@gregkh>
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 24481a7f573305706054c59e275371f8d0fe919f ]
The security operations that verify the RESPONSE packets decrypt bits of it
in place - however, the sk_buff may be shared with a packet sniffer, which
would lead to the sniffer seeing an apparently corrupt packet (actually
decrypted).
Fix this by handing a copy of the packet off to the specific security
handler if the packet was cloned.
Fixes: 17926a79320a ("[AF_RXRPC]: Provide secure RxRPC sockets for use by userspace and kernel both")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260408121252.2249051-1-dhowells%40redhat.com
