Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:05:06 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: handle unreadable frags

sashiko reports:
 When an skb with unreadable fragments (such as from devmem TCP, where
 skb_frags_readable(skb) returns false) is processed by the u32 module,
 skb_copy_bits() will safely return a negative error code [..]

xt_u32: bail out with hotdrop in this case.
gather_frags: return -1, just as if we had no fragment header.
nfnetlink_queue: restrict to the linear part.
nfnetlink_log: restrict to the linear part.

v2:
 - skb_zerocopy helpers don't copy readable flag, i.e. nfnetlink_queue
 is broken too
 xt_u32 shouldn't return true if hotdrop was set.
