Hello,
flow_change() checks FLOW_KEY_SKUID and FLOW_KEY_SKGID as bit values,
although they are enum indices and TCA_FLOW_KEYS is a bitmask. The
current expression tests bits 0 through 3 instead of bits 14 and 15.
A process with CAP_NET_ADMIN in a non-initial user namespace can
therefore install SKUID/SKGID filters despite the user-namespace gate.
Those keys use initial-user-namespace credentials. If another user's
locally generated traffic traverses the attacker's qdisc, the filter
can expose a property of that UID through class packet counters. The
same typo also rejects some ordinary flow keys. The demonstrated
cross-namespace inference requires such foreign traffic to reach the
attacker-owned qdisc; this does not disclose an arbitrary UID or grant
privileges.

The console log, full kernel config, and reproducer are available from
one fixed-revision Gist:

Clone this Gist and the exact Linux source revision, then build the
kernel with the attached config and run the PoC as PID 1 in an
initramfs:

Change oracle_uid to 424242 for the even-UID control. Run the same
command with the corrected-mask kernel to check the fixed behavior.
The vulnerable kernel accepted both restricted filters in two fresh
boots. UID 424243 produced a 7/10 packet split between bands 1 and 2;
changing only the target to even UID 424242 put all 17 packets in band
1. The corrected-mask kernel rejected SKUID and SKGID with -EOPNOTSUPP,
accepted the ordinary SRC key, and showed all 17 packets in band 2.
The fixed-kernel harness prints ORACLE_RESULT=FAIL intentionally,
because its predicate expects the vulnerable behavior.
The guard was added by commit a6c6796c7127
("userns: Convert cls_flow to work with user namespaces enabled").
Use shifted enum values when checking the TCA_FLOW_KEYS bitmask:
