Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] tcp: initialize ir_rmt_addr and ir_loc_addr in cookie_v6_check()
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 16:12:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114161248.3428695-2-thaisonphan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114161248.3428695-1-thaisonphan@google.com>
Commit a3a128f611a9 ("inet: consolidate inet_csk_clone_lock()") moved
the LOOPBACK4_IPV6 initialization for passive IPv6 TCP sockets from
tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() to tcp_v6_init_req().
IPv6 SYN cookie connections allocate a fresh request_sock without
__GFP_ZERO and call tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() without tcp_v6_init_req(),
leaving ireq->ir_rmt_addr and ireq->ir_loc_addr uninitialized in
cookie_v6_check(). inet_csk_clone_lock() then copies uninitialized slab
bytes into sk_daddr, sk_rcv_saddr, and inet_saddr, exposing them to
tracepoints and bpf_sock and causing inet_daddr != LOOPBACK4_IPV6 checks
(such as IP_OPTIONS in do_ip_setsockopt()) to misclassify native IPv6
child sockets as IPv4-mapped.
Initialize ireq->ir_rmt_addr and ireq->ir_loc_addr to LOOPBACK4_IPV6 in
cookie_v6_check() to match tcp_v6_init_req().
Found in CI testing on a KASAN kernel; reproduced without kernel
modifications in a KASAN VM (tcp_syncookies=2) and tested against the
reproducer and packetdrill syncookie selftests.
Fixes: a3a128f611a9 ("inet: consolidate inet_csk_clone_lock()")
