An LWT_XMIT BPF program can then modify the skb head and still\nreturn BPF_OK, so bpf_xmit() rechecks the remaining headroom before the\nskb continues to neighbour output.\n\nThat recheck uses dst->dev->hard_header_len. This is not enough for the\nneighbour cached-header path: neigh_hh_output() copies the cached hardware\nheader using the aligned hh_cache size, HH_DATA_MOD for short headers or\nHH_DATA_ALIGN(hh_len) otherwise.\n\nOn Ethernet, hard_header_len is 14 but the cached copy needs 16 bytes. If\nan LWT_XMIT BPF program calls bpf_skb_change_head(skb, 1, 0), the skb can\nstill have 15 bytes of headroom after the program. The existing check\naccepts that, after which neigh_hh_output() hits its headroom warning and\ndrops the skb.\n\nUse LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dst->dev) in the post-BPF headroom check to match\nthe reservation made before LWT xmit."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/core/lwt_bpf.c"],"versions":[{"version":"3a0af8fd61f90920f6fa04e4f1e9a6a73c1b4fd2","lessThan":"753e5cdcca5474d230d62bb3489e5168ab27c272","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"3a0af8fd61f90920f6fa04e4f1e9a6a73c1b4fd2","lessThan":"c488071c3441fa34f5a87cd6c12ce2cc6304f20e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"3a0af8fd61f90920f6fa04e4f1e9a6a73c1b4fd2","lessThan":"a38c0eb447e2dd0120a2ebcdba470f9505ac8907","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"3a0af8fd61f90920f6fa04e4f1e9a6a73c1b4fd2","lessThan":"de2b2004e16f2930eb689175e2c1998b0a68d499","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"3a0af8fd61f90920f6fa04e4f1e9a6a73c1b4fd2","lessThan":"7d043e24520a273c362be5dd7d9c82796879a49b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"3a0af8fd61f90920f6fa04e4f1e9a6a73c1b4fd2","lessThan":"7cf561843ed0ad57501892a65abb77957e6c800f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"3a0af8fd61f90920f6fa04e4f1e9a6a73c1b4fd2","lessThan":"179a5b2171573d94a25c9aa8e1c9f9ac352ad316","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"3a0af8fd61f90920f6fa04e4f1e9a6a73c1b4fd2","lessThan":"5fe7007aed9ad069b2bd77e5d0c875c64f5c0269","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/lwt_bpf.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.10","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.10","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.270","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.221","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.188","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.157","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.110","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.52","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.6","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","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":"4.10","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.270"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.10","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.221"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.10","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.188"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.10","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.157"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.10","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.110"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.10","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.52"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.10","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.10","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/753e5cdcca5474d230d62bb3489e5168ab27c272"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c488071c3441fa34f5a87cd6c12ce2cc6304f20e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a38c0eb447e2dd0120a2ebcdba470f9505ac8907"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/de2b2004e16f2930eb689175e2c1998b0a68d499"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7d043e24520a273c362be5dd7d9c82796879a49b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7cf561843ed0ad57501892a65abb77957e6c800f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/179a5b2171573d94a25c9aa8e1c9f9ac352ad316"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5fe7007aed9ad069b2bd77e5d0c875c64f5c0269"}],"title":"lwt_bpf: Restore reserved headroom after xmit program","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
