"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Disallow bpf_skb_pull_data() for LWT_SEG6LOCAL\n\nAn LWT_SEG6LOCAL program can invalidate its cached SRH with\nbpf_lwt_seg6_adjust_srh() and then call bpf_skb_pull_data(). The latter\nmay reallocate skb->head, leaving the per-CPU SRH pointer dangling.\nPost-program SRH validation then writes through that pointer.\n\nDisallow bpf_skb_pull_data() for LWT_SEG6LOCAL programs so the verifier\nrejects this unsafe helper combination. Other LWT program types continue\nto expose the helper through lwt_out_func_proto()."

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The local bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD) path reaches check_helper_call() and the patched lwt_seg6local_func_proto(), where attacker-authored bytecode requests bpf_lwt_seg6_adjust_srh() and bpf_skb_pull_data(); an RTM_NEWROUTE then attaches it. A received SRH packet merely executes that installed program and cannot create the unsafe helper sequence.\nAC:L - The attacker controls the helper order, SRH offset and length, and can inject a large non-linear SRv6 frame so bpf_skb_pull_data() deterministically reaches __pskb_pull_tail() and pskb_expand_head(). No race is required, and repeated packets reproduce the stale-pointer write.\nPR:L - bpf_prog_load() requires CAP_BPF and CAP_NET_ADMIN for BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_SEG6LOCAL, but BPF_F_TOKEN_FD and bpf_token_capable() support delegating both into a user namespace; rtnetlink_rcv_msg() separately accepts CAP_NET_ADMIN in the route's network namespace. Thus a host-unprivileged token holder can perform the complete setup.\nUI:N - The attacker loads the program, installs the End.BPF route, and injects the triggering SRv6 frame without any victim action.\nS:U - The stale srh pointer and resulting corruption occur in the same host kernel that processes the attacker's BPF program and packet; no VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - After skb->head is freed, seg6_bpf_has_valid_srh() passes the dangling srh pointer to seg6_validate_srh(), which reads header fields and variable-length TLVs from reusable slab memory; its drop-versus-forward result also provides an observable contents oracle.\nI:H - seg6_bpf_has_valid_srh() executes srh->hdrlen = srh_state->hdrlen >> 3 through the dangling pointer, producing an attacker-valued one-byte write into freed slab memory that can corrupt a reclaimed object or allocator state and support control-flow compromise.\nA:H - The stale write in seg6_bpf_has_valid_srh() is a confirmed slab use-after-free and can trigger a KASAN panic or later kernel oops through corrupted freed-object state; the attacker can repeat it with additional packets."
