Subject: [PATCH] mac802154: rx: fix beacon/mac_cmd skb leak and short skb_trim underflow
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 21:36:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919213637.3314421-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)

Fix two sk_buff handling bugs in `net/mac802154/rx.c`:

1. In `ieee802154_subif_frame()`, the `skb` passed by
   `__ieee802154_rx_handle_packet()` is already a dedicated
   `skb_clone()` owned by `ieee802154_subif_frame()` (with `skb->users
   == 1`), and all normal return paths consume it without extra
   reference increments. However, the `IEEE802154_FC_TYPE_BEACON` and
   `IEEE802154_FC_TYPE_MAC_CMD` branches call `mac_pkt->skb =
   skb_get(skb)` (incrementing `skb->users` to `2`) and return
   `NET_RX_SUCCESS`. When the worker later calls
   `kfree_skb(mac_pkt->skb)`, `skb->users` only drops from `2` to `1`,
   permanently leaking every received Beacon and MAC Command `sk_buff`.
   Assign `mac_pkt->skb = skb` directly.
2. In `ieee802154_rx()`, when `IEEE802154_HW_RX_OMIT_CKSUM` is set,
   `skb_put(skb, 2)` is called without ensuring 2 bytes of tailroom, and
   when `IEEE802154_HW_RX_OMIT_CKSUM` is not set,
   `__ieee802154_rx_handle_packet()` calls `skb_trim(skb, skb->len - 2)`
   without verifying `skb->len >= 2`. Ensure tailroom with
   `pskb_expand_head(skb, 0, 2, GFP_ATOMIC)` and drop frames shorter
   than 2 bytes.
