ipv6: ioam: fix heap buffer overflow in __ioam6_fill_trace_data()

2026-03-04T12:20:36Z

[ Upstream commit 6db8b56eed62baacaf37486e83378a72635c04cc ] On the receive path, __ioam6_fill_trace_data() uses trace->nodelen to decide how much data to write for each node. It trusts this field as-is from the incoming packet, with no consistency check against trace->type (the 24-bit field that tells which data items are present). A crafted packet can set nodelen=0 while setting type bits 0-21, causing the function to write ~100 bytes past the allocated region (into skb_shared_info), which corrupts adjacent heap memory and leads to a kernel panic. Add a shared helper ioam6_trace_compute_nodelen() in ioam6.c to derive the expected nodelen from the type field, and use it: - in ioam6_iptunnel.c (send path, existing validation) to replace the open-coded computation; - in exthdrs.c (receive path, ipv6_hop_ioam) to drop packets whose nodelen is inconsistent with the type field, before any data is written. Per RFC 9197, bits 12-21 are each short (4-octet) fields, so they are included in IOAM6_MASK_SHORT_FIELDS (changed from 0xff100000 to 0xff1ffc00).

netfilter: nf_conncount: increase the connection clean up limit to 64

2026-03-04T12:19:34Z

[ Upstream commit 21d033e472735ecec677f1ae46d6740b5e47a4f3 ] After the optimization to only perform one GC per jiffy, a new problem was introduced. If more than 8 new connections are tracked per jiffy the list won't be cleaned up fast enough possibly reaching the limit wrongly. In order to prevent this issue, only skip the GC if it was already triggered during the same jiffy and the increment is lower than the clean up limit. In addition, increase the clean up limit to 64 connections to avoid triggering GC too often and do more effective GCs. This has been tested using a HTTP server and several performance tools while having nft_connlimit/xt_connlimit or OVS limit configured.

wifi: cfg80211: add a work abstraction with special semantics

[ Upstream commit a3ee4dc84c4e9d14cb34dad095fd678127aca5b6 ] Add a work abstraction at the cfg80211 level that will always hold the wiphy_lock() for any work executed and therefore also can be canceled safely (without waiting) while holding that. This improves on what we do now as with the new wiphy works we don't have to worry about locking while cancelling them safely. Also, don't let such works run while the device is suspended, since they'll likely need to interact with the device. Flush them before suspend though.

net: Add locking to protect skb->dev access in ip_output

2026-02-06T15:42:01Z

commit 1dbf1d590d10a6d1978e8184f8dfe20af22d680a upstream. In ip_output() skb->dev is updated from the skb_dst(skb)->dev this can become invalid when the interface is unregistered and freed, Introduced new skb_dst_dev_rcu() function to be used instead of skb_dst_dev() within rcu_locks in ip_output.This will ensure that all the skb's associated with the dev being deregistered will be transnmitted out first, before freeing the dev. Given that ip_output() is called within an rcu_read_lock() critical section or from a bottom-half context, it is safe to introduce an RCU read-side critical section within it. Multiple panic call stacks were observed when UL traffic was run in concurrency with device deregistration from different functions, pasting one sample for reference.

nfc: nci: Fix race between rfkill and nci_unregister_device().

2026-02-06T15:42:00Z

[ Upstream commit d2492688bb9fed6ab6e313682c387ae71a66ebae ] syzbot reported the splat below [0] without a repro. It indicates that struct nci_dev.cmd_wq had been destroyed before nci_close_device() was called via rfkill. nci_dev.cmd_wq is only destroyed in nci_unregister_device(), which (I think) was called from virtual_ncidev_close() when syzbot close()d an fd of virtual_ncidev. The problem is that nci_unregister_device() destroys nci_dev.cmd_wq first and then calls nfc_unregister_device(), which removes the device from rfkill by rfkill_unregister(). So, the device is still visible via rfkill even after nci_dev.cmd_wq is destroyed. Let's unregister the device from rfkill first in nci_unregister_device(). Note that we cannot call nfc_unregister_device() before nci_close_device() because 1) nfc_unregister_device() calls device_del() which frees all memory allocated by devm_kzalloc() and linked to ndev->conn_info_list 2) nci_rx_work() could try to queue nci_conn_info to ndev->conn_info_list which could be leaked Thus, nfc_unregister_device() is split into two functions so we can remove rfkill interfaces only before nci_close_device().

netfilter: nf_conncount: rework API to use sk_buff directly

2026-01-19T12:09:35Z

[ Upstream commit be102eb6a0e7c03db00e50540622f4e43b2d2844 ] When using nf_conncount infrastructure for non-confirmed connections a duplicated track is possible due to an optimization introduced since commit d265929930e2 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC"). In order to fix this introduce a new conncount API that receives directly an sk_buff struct. It fetches the tuple and zone and the corresponding ct from it. It comes with both existing conncount variants nf_conncount_count_skb() and nf_conncount_add_skb(). In addition remove the old API and adjust all the users to use the new one. This way, for each sk_buff struct it is possible to check if there is a ct present and already confirmed. If so, skip the add operation.

netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC

2026-01-19T12:09:35Z

[ Upstream commit d265929930e2ffafc744c0ae05fb70acd53be1ee ] Currently nf_conncount can trigger garbage collection (GC) at multiple places. Each GC process takes a spin_lock_bh to traverse the nf_conncount_list. We found that when testing port scanning use two parallel nmap, because the number of connection increase fast, the nf_conncount_count and its subsequent call to __nf_conncount_add take too much time, causing several CPU lockup. This happens when user set the conntrack limit to +20,000, because the larger the limit, the longer the list that GC has to traverse. The patch mitigate the performance issue by avoiding unnecessary GC with a timestamp. Whenever nf_conncount has done a GC, a timestamp is updated, and beforce the next time GC is triggered, we make sure it's more than a jiffies. By doin this we can greatly reduce the CPU cycles and avoid the softirq lockup. To reproduce it in OVS, $ ovs-appctl dpctl/ct-set-limits zone=1,limit=20000 $ ovs-appctl dpctl/ct-get-limits At another machine, runs two nmap $ nmap -p1- $ nmap -p1- Signed-off-by: William Tu Co-authored-by: Yifeng Sun Reported-by: Greg Rose Suggested-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Stable-dep-of: 69894e5b4c5e ("netfilter: nft_connlimit: update the count if add was skipped") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin
