"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nopenvswitch: only skb_tx_error() a packet we are about to drop\n\nqueue_userspace_packet() borrows the packet skb -- it only copies it into\na private netlink message (user_skb) and does not own it; on return\ndo_execute_actions() keeps forwarding it through the flow's remaining\nactions. Its error path nevertheless calls skb_tx_error(skb), which via\nskb_zcopy_clear() does skb_shinfo(skb)->flags &= ~SKBFL_ALL_ZEROCOPY,\nstripping SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG from that live skb (skb_tx_error()'s kerneldoc\nsays \"skb must be freed afterwards\").\n\nFor a MSG_ZEROCOPY skb carrying page-cache frags, SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG is\nwhat makes esp_input() skb_cow_data() before in-place AEAD; once it is\nstripped a later local ESP-in-UDP delivery decrypts in place over pages\nthe sender does not own -- an unprivileged page-cache write (the\n\"Fragnesia\" primitive).\ndo_execute_actions() ignores output_userspace()'s return value, so any\naction after a failed USERSPACE upcall inherits the stripped skb.\n\nMove the skb_tx_error() to the flow-miss drop path - the \"default\"\nbranch of ovs_dp_process_packet()'s switch(error), before kfree_skb().\n\nThe call has been here since commit 36d5fe6a0007 (\"core, nfqueue,\nopenvswitch: Orphan frags in skb_zerocopy and handle errors\") but was\nharmless until esp_input() began relying on SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG to gate\nin-place decrypt; only then did stripping it on a still-forwarded skb\nbecome a page-cache write primitive."

"value": "AV:L - The strip runs only on a locally originated MSG_ZEROCOPY skb that still has a zerocopy uarg (skb_zcopy_clear is a no-op otherwise); NIC-received packets never carry that uarg, and the later in-place ESP decrypt is via a local SA, so a local account is required.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the OVS flow (non-last USERSPACE with a PID that makes genlmsg_unicast fail), the MSG_ZEROCOPY send, and the ESP SA/payload; do_execute_actions() ignores the upcall error, so the shared-frag strip and in-place decrypt are deterministic with no race beyond attacker influence.\nPR:L - OVS genetlink families are netnsok and use GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM (CAP_NET_ADMIN in the socket user_ns); an unprivileged user can unshare -Urn, create a datapath/flow, enable SO_ZEROCOPY, and install xfrm SAs, while the global page cache remains the corruption target.\nUI:N - The attacker installs the OVS userspace-then-output flow, sends the MSG_ZEROCOPY packet, and completes local ESP-in-UDP delivery without any victim action such as opening a file or mounting a filesystem.\nS:U - The resulting page-cache write is a standard in-kernel memory-corruption/privilege-escalation primitive on the same host; it does not cross a VM hypervisor or IOMMU security boundary.\nC:H - Clearing SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG lets later esp_input() skip skb_cow_data() and AEAD-decrypt in place over page-cache-backed frags, a write primitive into globally cached file/code pages that can be leveraged for arbitrary disclosure.\nI:H - With the shared-frag marker stripped, ESP decrypts attacker-controlled plaintext in place over page-cache pages the sender does not own, yielding the Fragnesia unprivileged write into files the attacker could only read.\nA:H - In-place writes into page-cache-backed or still-mapped zerocopy pages corrupt shared kernel/file state and readily cause oopses, panics, and process crashes; skb_tx_error also completes the uarg while the skb is still in flight."
