CVE-2026-68302CVE-2026-68302
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
amt: re-read skb header pointers after every pull
Several AMT receive and transmit paths cache a pointer into the skb head
(ip_hdr(), ipv6_hdr(), eth_hdr() or the AMT message header) and then call
a helper that can reallocate that head before the cached pointer is used
again. pskb_may_pull(), ip_mc_may_pull(), ipv6_mc_may_pull(),
iptunnel_pull_header(), ip_mc_check_igmp() and ipv6_mc_check_mld() can all
free the old head and move the data, so a pointer taken before the call
dangles afterwards and the later access is a use-after-free of the freed
head.
The affected sites are:
amt_rcv() caches ip_hdr() before amt_parse_type() pulls, then reads
iph->saddr.
amt_dev_xmit() caches ip_hdr()/ipv6_hdr() before ip_mc_check_igmp()/
ipv6_mc_check_mld() and pskb_may_pull(), then reads the group address.
amt_multicast_data_handler() caches eth_hdr() before pskb_may_pull(),
then writes the L2 header.
