The function skb_segment_list\ncannot correctly process GRO skbs that have been converted by XLAT,\nsince XLAT only translates the header of the head skb. Consequently,\nskbs in the frag_list may remain untranslated, resulting in protocol\ninconsistencies and reduced throughput.\n\nTo address this, the patch explicitly sets the SKB_GSO_DODGY flag\nfor GSO packets in XLAT's IPv4/IPv6 protocol translation helpers\n(bpf_skb_proto_4_to_6 and bpf_skb_proto_6_to_4). This marks GSO\npackets as potentially modified after protocol translation. As a\nresult, GSO segmentation will avoid using skb_segment_list and\ninstead falls back to skb_segment for packets with the SKB_GSO_DODGY\nflag. This ensures that only safe and fully translated frag_list\npackets are processed by skb_segment_list, resolving protocol\ninconsistencies and improving throughput when forwarding GRO packets\nconverted by XLAT."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/core/filter.c","net/ipv4/tcp_offload.c","net/ipv4/udp_offload.c","net/ipv6/tcpv6_offload.c"],"versions":[{"version":"9fd1ff5d2ac7181844735806b0a703c942365291","lessThan":"9122d7280b2303e835cdfec156bd932ac1f586ed","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9fd1ff5d2ac7181844735806b0a703c942365291","lessThan":"2cbef9ea5a0ac51863ede35c45f26931a85d3888","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9fd1ff5d2ac7181844735806b0a703c942365291","lessThan":"3e62db1e3140449608975e29e0979cc5f3b1cc07","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9fd1ff5d2ac7181844735806b0a703c942365291","lessThan":"3d48d59235c494d34e32052f768393111c0806ef","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9fd1ff5d2ac7181844735806b0a703c942365291","lessThan":"426ca15c7f6cb6562a081341ca88893a50c59fa2","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/core/filter.c","net/ipv4/tcp_offload.c","net/ipv4/udp_offload.c","net/ipv6/tcpv6_offload.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.6","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.6","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.167","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.130","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.69","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.9","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.19","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.6","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.167"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.6","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.130"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.6","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.69"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.6","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.6","versionEndExcluding":"6.19"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9122d7280b2303e835cdfec156bd932ac1f586ed"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2cbef9ea5a0ac51863ede35c45f26931a85d3888"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e62db1e3140449608975e29e0979cc5f3b1cc07"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d48d59235c494d34e32052f768393111c0806ef"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/426ca15c7f6cb6562a081341ca88893a50c59fa2"}],"title":"net: fix segmentation of forwarding fraglist GRO","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
