Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] net: thunderbolt: Fix frags[] overflow by bounding frame_count
Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2026 10:12:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260725141226.3814823-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072026-jab-puzzling-567e@gregkh>

[ Upstream commit 55d9895f89970501fe126d1026b586b04a224c27 ]

tbnet_poll() assembles a multi-frame ThunderboltIP packet into one skb. The
first frame goes into the skb linear area and every further frame is added as
a page fragment.

	skb_add_rx_frag(skb, skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags,
			page, hdr_size, frame_size,
			TBNET_RX_PAGE_SIZE - hdr_size);

A packet of frame_count frames therefore ends up with frame_count - 1
fragments. tbnet_check_frame() only bounds the peer supplied frame_count to
TBNET_RING_SIZE / 4 (64), which is far above MAX_SKB_FRAGS (17 by default). A
peer that sends a packet of 19 or more small frames pushes nr_frags past
MAX_SKB_FRAGS, so skb_add_rx_frag() writes past skb_shinfo()->frags[] and
corrupts memory after the shared info.

Tighten the start of packet bound to MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 so a packet can never
produce more fragments than frags[] can hold. This matches the recent skb
frags overflow fixes in other receive paths, for example f0813bcd2d9d ("net:
wwan: t7xx: fix potential skb->frags overflow in RX path") and 600dc40554dc
("net: usb: cdc-phonet: fix skb frags[] overflow in rx_complete()").

Fixes: e69b6c02b4c3 ("net: Add support for networking over Thunderbolt cable")
