"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/sched: act_ct: preserve tc_skb_cb across defragmentation\n\ntcf_ct_handle_fragments() calls nf_ct_handle_fragments() without saving\nand restoring skb->cb. The defrag helper clears IPCB/IP6CB, which aliases\nthe tc_skb_cb/qdisc_skb_cb control buffer. Fragmented traffic through\nact_ct therefore loses qdisc metadata such as pkt_segs and can trigger\nWARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_pkt_segs() when panic_on_warn is enabled.\n\nSave and restore the full tc_skb_cb around nf_ct_handle_fragments(),\nmatching the pattern used by ovs_ct_handle_fragments()."

"value": "AV:N - The bug fires in tcf_ct_act() on the packet datapath (sch_handle_ingress/egress → tc_run → tcf_classify) when IP fragments arrive; on OVN/Kubernetes/SDN gateways and mlx5 offload nodes with act_ct already installed, a remote peer triggers it by sending fragmented traffic with no local access.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls fragment boundaries and ordering; nf_ct_handle_fragments() memset of IPCB/IP6CB that aliases tc_skb_cb runs deterministically on each matching fragment through the configured ct action without races or memory-layout dependencies.\nPR:N - Installing act_ct requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, but triggering the bug on an already-configured internet-facing or tenant-facing gateway needs no target credentials; a remote attacker only sends crafted IP fragments, matching CNA precedent for packet-driven act_ct issues (e.g., CVE-2023-52610).\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only attacker-generated fragmented packets reaching a host with act_ct on clsact/ingress; no victim login, mount, or other interactive action is needed.\nS:U - WARN/panic and corrupted qdisc/tc metadata occur entirely within the host kernel security domain; this is not a VM escape, sandbox breakout, or IOMMU boundary bypass.\nC:N - memset(IPCB/IP6CB) zeroes tc_skb_cb/qdisc_skb_cb fields in place without out-of-bounds read or use-after-free; no kernel memory contents are disclosed to the attacker, only skb control-block metadata is clobbered.\nI:L - Clearing pkt_segs, pkt_len, post_ct, and zone corrupts tc/qdisc state consumed by bstats_update, sch_cake/sch_qfq, and cls_flower zone matching, enabling attacker-driven mis-accounting and mis-handling of packets on the affected path.\nA:H - Zeroed pkt_segs makes qdisc_pkt_segs() hit DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE when it disagrees with GSO segment count; with panic_on_warn enabled this kernel-panics the host, and the condition is repeatable with sustained fragmented traffic."
