Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: fix buffer leak in xsk_drop_skb() for AF_XDP multi-buffer Tx
This patch is inspired by the check[1] from sashiko. It says when
overflow happens, the address of cq to be published is invalid.
Actually the severer thing is the whole process of publishing the
address of cq in this particular case is not right: it should truely
publish the address and advance the cached_prod in cq as long as it
reads descriptors from txq.
The following is the full analysis.
xsk_drop_skb() is called in three places, which all discard a partially
built multi-buffer skb:
1) xsk_build_skb() -EOVERFLOW error path: packet exceeds MAX_SKB_FRAGS
2) __xsk_generic_xmit() post-loop cleanup: an invalid descriptor in
the TX ring prevents the partial packet from completing
3) xsk_release(): socket close while xs->skb holds an incomplete packet
In all three cases, the TX descriptors for the already-processed frags
have been consumed from the
Scoring
