Subject: [PATCH net 2/4] ipv4: ipmr: clamp ip_hdrlen against skb_headlen in ipmr_cache_report
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 00:51:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514165139.436961-3-tpluszz77@gmail.com> (raw)

ipmr_cache_report() copies ip_hdrlen(pkt) bytes from pkt->data into
a freshly allocated 128-byte skb that is delivered to userspace via
the mrouted IGMP raw socket and via igmpmsg_netlink_event:

  const int ihl = ip_hdrlen(pkt);
  ...
  skb_put(skb, ihl);
  skb_copy_to_linear_data(skb, pkt->data, ihl);

ip_rcv_core() validates iph->ihl and pskb_may_pull()s ihl*4 bytes at
parse time.  An nftables PRE_ROUTING payload write reachable from an
unprivileged user namespace can flip the ihl nibble from 5 to 15
between parse and ipmr_cache_report().  When the original skb is
non-linear (received via a NIC driver that uses paged frags), only
the parse-time ihl*4 = 20 bytes are in the linear region; the
consumer copies 60 bytes, and the extra 40 bytes are read from
skb_shared_info or adjacent slab memory and queued back to userspace,
a kernel heap-content infoleak.  PoC observation: recvfrom on the
mroute socket returns 28 bytes without mutation, 68 bytes with
mutation (40 extra bytes leaked).

Clamp ihl against skb_headlen(pkt) so only bytes actually present
in the linear region are copied.
