A remote sender cannot tear down a netns. The reporter's KASAN trace injects the fragments locally with packet_sendmsg into ipv6_rcv inside the attacker's own namespace.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race. They send IPv6 fragments into their own netns from threads, then destroy that netns by dropping its last reference. A fragment that found the queue in inet_frag_find() before high_thresh was zeroed then takes fq->lock after the flush, so the attacker can retry this at will.\nPR:L - Creating a network namespace and opening an AF_PACKET socket in it both need CAP_NET_RAW or CAP_NET_ADMIN, which unshare -Urn grants to an unprivileged user. The fix commit itself says this path is exploitable when unprivileged network namespaces are available.\nUI:N - The attacker creates the namespace, sends the fragments and triggers the teardown. No other user has to do anything.\nS:U - This is kernel heap corruption that leads to local privilege escalation inside the same kernel. No VM, IOMMU or other authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - ip6_frag_reasm() reuses a stale fq->nhoffset with a new skb. KASAN shows a slab out-of-bounds read past a 704-byte skbuff_small_head object, and this heap corruption can be shaped into memory disclosure.\nI:H - skb_network_header(skb)[nhoff] = ... in ip6_frag_reasm() writes at the stale nhoffset. KASAN shows it writing past the end of an skbuff_small_head allocation, and the fix commit states this out-of-bounds write can be leveraged for privilege escalation.\nA:H - The out-of-bounds write corrupts the kernel heap and can crash the host. Unflushed fragments also keep conntrack references alive past the per-net cleanup point, so the whole machine can go down."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/ipv4/inet_fragment.c"], "versions": [{"version": "22ee4010866da81aeee08e1ea3fddbe418feb212", "lessThan": "ff83367cda8eefbd62007ef1dff4f8104226d18a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "543555954b1ee8d1903a7020324efb41b0c97428", "lessThan": "b9d77f1652e79e58eac48430d0431c329137efcc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "c70df25214ac9b32b53e18e6ae3b8f073ffa6903", "lessThan": "7cb5f4643a7fcdbfbee1fad3cdfc678add62d378", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "006a5035b495dec008805df249f92c22c89c3d2e", "lessThan": "bf3d6c44c84c57e8a4bb7f40ad95b64f9b0198ba", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "006a5035b495dec008805df249f92c22c89c3d2e", "lessThan": "b824476c56a153934c67c9e0f873e1fd967743d6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6.6.143", "lessThan": "6.6.158", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.93", "lessThan": "6.12.111", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.3", "lessThan": "6.18.53", "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/ipv4/inet_fragment.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.19", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.19", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.158", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.53", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.7", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "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": "6.6.143", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.158"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.93", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.18.3", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.7"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ff83367cda8eefbd62007ef1dff4f8104226d18a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b9d77f1652e79e58eac48430d0431c329137efcc"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7cb5f4643a7fcdbfbee1fad3cdfc678add62d378"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bf3d6c44c84c57e8a4bb7f40ad95b64f9b0198ba"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b824476c56a153934c67c9e0f873e1fd967743d6"}], "title": "inet: frags: invalidate queues before flushing them", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}

Unflushed fragments can\nalso keep conntrack references alive after the conntrack per-net\ncleanup point.\nKill each incomplete queue, then flush every queue still owned by the\ndying rhashtable. HASH_DEAD identifies that ownership, while complete\nqueues without it are already owned by another destroy path and must be\nleft alone. Releasing a timer reference removed by inet_frag_kill() is\ndeferred to inet_frag_putn(), after the queue lock is dropped.\nKASAN report:\nBUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ipv6_frag_rcv (net/ipv6/reassembly.c:289 (discriminator 2) net/ipv6/reassembly.c:229 (discriminator 2) net/ipv6/reassembly.c:391 (discriminator 2))\nWrite of size 1 at addr ff110001039c6e00 by task poc/771\nCall Trace:\n? ipv6_frag_rcv (net/ipv6/reassembly.c:289 (discriminator 2) net/ipv6/reassembly.c:229 (discriminator 2) net/ipv6/reassembly.c:391 (discriminator 2))\nipv6_frag_rcv (net/ipv6/reassembly.c:289 (discriminator 2) net/ipv6/reassembly.c:229 (discriminator 2) net/ipv6/reassembly.c:391 (discriminator 2))\nip6_protocol_deliver_rcu (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:479 (discriminator 5))\nip6_input_finish (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:534)\nipv6_rcv (include/net/dst.h:480 (discriminator 3) net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:119 (discriminator 3) net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:109 (discriminator 3) include/linux/netfilter.h:325 (discriminator 3) include/linux/netfilter.h:319 (discriminator 3) net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:351 (discriminator 3))\npacket_sendmsg (net/packet/af_packet.c:3110 net/packet/af_packet.c:3142)\n__x64_sys_sendmmsg (net/socket.c:2883 net/socket.c:2880 net/socket.c:2880)\nThe buggy address belongs to the object at ff110001039c6b40\nwhich belongs to the cache skbuff_small_head of size 704\nThe buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of\nallocated 704-byte region [ff110001039c6b40, ff110001039c6e00)\nBUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:423 (discriminator 1))\nRead of size 1 at addr ff110001039c6e08 by task poc/771\nCall Trace:\n? ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:423 (discriminator 1))\nip6_protocol_deliver_rcu (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:423 (discriminator 1))\nip6_input_finish (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:534)\nipv6_rcv (include/net/dst.h:480 (discriminator 3) net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:119 (discriminator 3) net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:109 (discriminator 3) include/linux/netfilter.h:325 (discriminator 3) include/linux/netfilter.h:319 (discriminator 3) net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:351 (discriminator 3))\npacket_sendmsg (net/packet/af_packet.c:3110 net/packet/af_packet.c:3142)\n__x64_sys_sendmmsg (net/socket.c:2883 net/socket.c:2880 net/socket.c:2880)\npacket_sendmsg (net/packet/af_packet.c:2959 net/packet/af_packet.c:3053 net/packet/af_packet.c:3142)\n__x64_sys_sendmmsg (net/socket.c:2883 net/socket.c:2880 net/socket.c:2880)\nThe buggy address belongs to the object at ff110001039c6b40\nwhich belongs to the cache skbuff_small_head of size 704\nThe buggy address is located 8 bytes to the right of\nallocated 704-byte region [ff110001039c6b40, ff110001039c6e00)", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel.
