net/sched: cake: reject overhead values that underflow length

2026-07-08T09:42:21+00:00

CAKE accepts signed overhead values and stores them in an s16, but the adjusted packet length calculation uses unsigned arithmetic. A negative effective length can therefore wrap to a large value. Such configurations make rate accounting depend on integer wraparound rather than on the packet size userspace intended to model. A static netlink lower bound is not enough because packets reaching CAKE can be smaller than any reasonable manual-overhead allowance. Fold the signed overhead adjustment into the existing datapath MPU clamp so negative adjusted lengths are clamped before link-layer framing adjustments.

net/sched: act_pedit: fix TOCTOU heap OOB write in tc offload

2026-07-06T10:52:01+00:00

There is a TOCTOU race condition in flower lockless approach between sizing a flow_rule buffer and filling it. zdi-disclosures@trendmicro.com reports: The cls_flower classifier operates with TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED (fl_change runs without RTNL), while RTM_NEWACTION holds RTNL, so the independent locking domains make the race reachable in practice. KASAN confirms: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in tcf_pedit_offload_act_setup+0x81b/0x930 Write of size 4 at addr ffff888001f27520 by task poc-toctou/312 The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of allocated 288-byte region [ffff888001f27400, ffff888001f27520) (cache kmalloc-512) Note: The result is a heap OOB write attacker-controlled content into the adjacent slab object (requires CAP_NET_ADMIN). The fix introduces reading tcfp_nkeys under act->tcfa_lock in all places using a new tcf_pedit_nkeys_locked() which replaces the old tcf_pedit_nkeys(). Additionally we close the remaining TOCTOU window between the sizing read and the fill reads by more careful accounting. Rather than silently truncating the key count, which leads to incorrect action semantics offloaded to hardware and secondary OOB writes if the remaining capacity is zero or consumed by prior actions, we enforce remaining capacity checks and return -ENOSPC if the required space exceeds the remaining capacity.

net/sched: sch_teql: move rcu_read_lock()/spin_lock() from _bh variants

2026-07-03T14:02:38+00:00

This is a followup based on sashiko comments [1] on commit e5b811fe7931 ("net/sched: sch_teql: Introduce slaves_lock to avoid race condition and UAF") Use plain rcu_read_lock()/spin_lock() in teql_master_xmit() instead of the _bh variants, since ndo_start_xmit is already invoked with BH disabled by the core stack and the _bh primitives can warn in_hardirq() when xmit is reached through netpoll or a softirq xmit path with hard IRQs disabled. Moves rcu_read_lock() after restart: label + adds rcu_read_unlock() before goto restart (fixes the unbounded RCU hold across retries) [1] https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260628111229.669751-1-jhs%40mojatatu.com Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim Fixes: e5b811fe7931 ("net/sched: sch_teql: Introduce slaves_lock to avoid race condition and UAF") Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260630150922.238714-1-jhs@mojatatu.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

net/sched: hhf: clear heavy-hitter state on reset

2026-07-01T08:09:38+00:00

HHF reset does not clear the classifier state used to identify heavy hitters. Packets after reset can therefore be scheduled using flow history from before the reset. The reset operation should return the qdisc to an empty state. Clear the heavy-hitter classifier tables when HHF is reset.

net/sched: dualpi2: clear stale classification on filter miss

2026-07-01T08:00:25+00:00

DualPI2 leaves previous classification state attached to an skb when filter classification returns no match. The enqueue path can then act on stale state from an earlier classification attempt. A filter miss should fall back to the default class without reusing old per-packet classification data. Initialize the classification result to CLASSIC before running the classifier. Explicit L4S, priority, and successful filter classification can still override that default.

net/sched: sch_teql: Introduce slaves_lock to avoid race condition and UAF

2026-06-30T11:15:30+00:00

The teql master->slaves singly linked list is not protected against multiple writes. It can be mod'ed concurently from teql_master_xmit(), teql_dequeue(), teql_init() and teql_destroy() without holding any list lock or RCU protection. zdi-disclosures@trendmicro.com has demonstrated that the qdisc is freed after an RCU grace period, but teql_master_xmit() running on another CPU can still hold a stale pointer into the list, resulting in a slab-use-after-free: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in teql_master_xmit+0xf0f/0x16b0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888013fb0440 by task poc/332 Freed 512-byte region [ffff888013fb0400, ffff888013fb0600) (kmalloc-512) The fix? Add a per-master slaves_lock spinlock that serializes all mutations of master->slaves and the NEXT_SLAVE() links in teql_destroy() and teql_qdisc_init(). teql_master_xmit() also takes the same slaves_lock around those updates. Annotate master->slaves and the per-slave ->next pointer with __rcu and use the appropriate RCU accessors everywhere they are touched: rcu_assign_pointer() on the writer side (under slaves_lock), rcu_dereference_protected() for the writer-side loads (also under slaves_lock), rcu_dereference_bh() for the loads in teql_master_xmit() and rtnl_dereference() for the loads in teql_master_open()/teql_master_mtu(), which run under RTNL. Pair this with rcu_read_lock_bh()/rcu_read_unlock_bh() around the list traversal in teql_master_xmit(), so that readers either observe a fully linked list or are deferred until the in-flight mutation completes. The two early-return paths in teql_master_xmit() are updated to release the RCU-bh read-side critical section before returning, since leaving it held would disable BH on that CPU for good.

net/sched: sch_multiq: Replace direct dequeue call with peek and qdisc_dequeue_peeked

2026-06-27T01:52:26+00:00

multiq_dequeue() takes a packet from a band's child with a direct ->dequeue() call after multiq_peek() peeked it. When the child is non-work-conserving the peek stashes the skb in the child's gso_skb, so the direct dequeue returns a different skb and orphans the stash, desyncing the child's qlen/backlog. With a qfq child reached through a peeking parent (e.g. tbf) this re-enters the child on an emptied list and dereferences NULL, panicking the kernel from softirq on ordinary egress. Take the packet through qdisc_dequeue_peeked(), as sch_prio already does and as sch_red and sch_sfb were just fixed to do. The helper is a no-op when the child has no stash, so a work-conserving child is unaffected. Fixes: 77be155cba4e ("pkt_sched: Add peek emulation for non-work-conserving qdiscs.")

net/sched: sch_taprio: Replace direct dequeue call with peek and qdisc_dequeue_peeked

2026-06-27T01:52:26+00:00

When taprio's software path peeks a non-work-conserving child qdisc, the child stashes the peeked skb in its gso_skb; taprio_dequeue_from_txq() then takes the packet with a direct child ->dequeue() call, which ignores that stash, orphans the peeked skb and desyncs the child's qlen/backlog. With a qfq child this re-enters the child on an emptied list and dereferences NULL, panicking the kernel from softirq on ordinary egress. Take the packet through qdisc_dequeue_peeked(), as sch_red and sch_sfb now do. The helper returns the child's stashed skb first and is a no-op when there is none, so a work-conserving child is unaffected and the gated path now consumes the skb whose length was charged to the budget.

net/sched: cls_api: Handle TC_ACT_CONSUMED in tcf_qevent_handle

2026-06-24T02:08:36+00:00

tcf_classify() can return TC_ACT_CONSUMED while the skb is held by the defragmentation engine (e.g. act_ct on out-of-order fragments). When that happens the skb is no longer owned by the caller and must not be touched again. tcf_qevent_handle() did not handle TC_ACT_CONSUMED: it fell through the switch and returned the skb to the caller as if classification had passed. The only qdisc that wires up qevents today is RED, via three call sites (qe_mark on RED_PROB_MARK/HARD_MARK, qe_early_drop on congestion_drop) red_enqueue() was continuing to operate on an skb it no longer owns in this case -- enqueueing it, dropping it, or updating statistics. Resulting in a UAF. tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: red ... qevent early_drop block 10 tc filter add block 10 ... action ct (with ct defrag enabled and traffic that produces out-of-order fragments, e.g. a fragmented UDP stream) Handle TC_ACT_CONSUMED in tcf_qevent_handle() the same way the ingress and egress fast paths do: treat it as stolen and return NULL without touching the skb. Unlike the TC_ACT_STOLEN case, the skb must not be dropped/freed here, as it is no longer owned by us.
