Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: sr: fix 16-byte kernel heap leak in seg6_genl_set_tunsrc()
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 20:48:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919204807.2812472-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)

seg6_genl_policy[SEG6_ATTR_DST] uses NLA_BINARY with
.len = sizeof(struct in6_addr), which only caps the maximum attribute
length and allows 0-byte SEG6_ATTR_DST attributes.

seg6_genl_set_tunsrc() then unconditionally copies
sizeof(struct in6_addr) (16 bytes) from
nla_data(info->attrs[SEG6_ATTR_DST]) into sdata->tun_src via kmemdup(),
reading 16 bytes of uninitialized skb->head heap memory past skb->tail
and exposing it to userspace via SEG6_CMD_GET_TUNSRC.

Enforce NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN(sizeof(struct in6_addr)) in
seg6_genl_policy and validate nla_len(info->attrs[SEG6_ATTR_DST]) in
seg6_genl_set_tunsrc().
