The crash is driven by data received from a remote TCP peer: `sk_psock_verdict_data_ready`/strparser process incoming segments in softirq and hand them to `sk_psock_backlog`, and the triggering condition (>18 scatter-gather entries from frags/frag_list) is a direct function of the volume and fragmentation of the attacker's stream, either via strparser message size or ordinary 64KB GRO frag_list chaining.\nAC:L - No race or memory-layout dependency is involved \u2014 `sk_psock_handle_skb()` unconditionally takes `skb_get()`, so `skb_shared()` is always true, and the commit author states the panic \"always occur[s] when skb_linearize is executed\"; the attacker only has to push a large enough message or burst, repeatably.\nPR:N - On the realistic deployment for this code (sockmap/sockhash-accelerated in-kernel proxies and service-mesh datapaths such as Cilium sockops using redirect-to-ingress), the attacker is an unauthenticated client that merely connects and sends data; no account, capability, or credential on the target is required, and the sockmap configuration is the victim's normal operating state, not something the attacker must set up.\nUI:N - The whole path runs automatically in the kernel receive path and the `sk_psock_backlog` workqueue as soon as data arrives; no administrator or local user action is needed.\nS:U - The BUG()/oops is confined to the kernel's own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - The failure is a `BUG_ON(skb_shared(skb))` assertion that fires before any buffer is read or copied \u2014 there is no out-of-bounds read, no use-after-free, and no data returned to the attacker.\nI:N - The assertion aborts `pskb_expand_head()` before any memory is written, so no kernel data structure is corrupted and no write primitive is produced.\nA:H - A `BUG()` in `process_one_work` context kills the worker (a full panic with `panic_on_oops`, standard in cloud/hardened deployments) while `psock->work_mutex` is still held, leaving the sockmap backlog permanently deadlocked and hanging subsequent sockmap teardown \u2014 a remotely repeatable hard denial of service."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/core/skmsg.c"], "versions": [{"version": "65ad600b9bde68d2d28709943ab00b51ca8f0a1d", "lessThan": "4dba44333a11522df54b49aa1f2edfaf6ce35fc7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "923877254f002ae87d441382bb1096d9e773d56d", "lessThan": "9718ba6490732dbe70190d42c21deb1440834402", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "a454d84ee20baf7bd7be90721b9821f73c7d23d9", "lessThan": "db1d15a26f21f97459508c42ae87cabe8d3afc3b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "a454d84ee20baf7bd7be90721b9821f73c7d23d9", "lessThan": "3d25fa2d7f127348c818e1dab9e58534f7ac56cc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "a454d84ee20baf7bd7be90721b9821f73c7d23d9", "lessThan": "e9c1299d813fc04668042690f2c3cc76d013959a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "a454d84ee20baf7bd7be90721b9821f73c7d23d9", "lessThan": "5ca2e29f6834c64c0e5a9ccf1278c21fb49b827e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "e6b5e47adb9166e732cdf7e6e034946e3f89f36d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "5.15.189", "lessThan": "5.15.190", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.54", "lessThan": "6.1.142", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.5.4", "lessThan": "6.6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/core/skmsg.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.6", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.6", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.190", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.142", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.94", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.34", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.15.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.16", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15.189", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.190"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1.54", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.142"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.94"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.34"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.15.3"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.16"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5.4"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4dba44333a11522df54b49aa1f2edfaf6ce35fc7"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9718ba6490732dbe70190d42c21deb1440834402"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/db1d15a26f21f97459508c42ae87cabe8d3afc3b"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d25fa2d7f127348c818e1dab9e58534f7ac56cc"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e9c1299d813fc04668042690f2c3cc76d013959a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5ca2e29f6834c64c0e5a9ccf1278c21fb49b827e"}], "title": "bpf, sockmap: Fix panic when calling skb_linearize", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [{"url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/10/msg00008.html"}], "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2025-11-03T17:34:54.924Z"}}]}}

Una confirmaci\u00f3n anterior (v\u00e9ase la etiqueta \"Correcciones\") introdujo skb_get() para evitar condiciones de ejecuci\u00f3n entre las operaciones de skb en el backlog y la versi\u00f3n de skb en la ruta recvmsg. Sin embargo, esto provocaba que el p\u00e1nico siempre se produjera al ejecutar skb_linearize. El par\u00e1metro \"--rx-strp 100000\" obliga a la ruta RX a usar el m\u00f3dulo strparser, que agrega datos hasta alcanzar los 100 KB antes de llamar a la l\u00f3gica de sockmap.
