A peer can lower the link MTU to TIPC_MIN_BEARER_MTU (100 bytes, plus the UDP encapsulation header) with the max_pkt field of a RESET or ACTIVATE message; tipc_link_proto_rcv() only checks the lower bound returned by tipc_bearer_min_mtu(). The same bound is applied to the device MTU when a bearer is enabled. That bound predates two later reductions of the link MSS: tipc_link_mss() = mtu - INT_H_SIZE (tunnel header) - EMSG_OVERHEAD (CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO) With CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO=y, which is the default, an MTU of 100 gives an MSS of 28. Once the link comes up, tipc_named_node_up() calls named_distribute(), which computes msg_dsz = ((tipc_node_get_mtu() - INT_H_SIZE) / ITEM_SIZE) * ITEM_SIZE; For an MSS of 28 the subtraction is negative and the result truncates to 0xfffffff0; for an MSS between 40 and 59 it is 0. named_prepare_buf() then allocates a buffer with no room for any item (the u32 size wraps), and msg_rem never reaches zero, so every cluster-scope publication on the node is written with publ_to_item() past the end of that one skb, over skb_shared_info and into adjacent memory. Without crypto the MSS is at least 60, which still does not hold the first fragment built by tipc_msg_build(): INT_H_SIZE fragment header plus a message header of up to MAX_H_SIZE. With pktmax below that, the header copies run past the pktmax bytes allocated for the fragment. Raise TIPC_MIN_BEARER_MTU to MAX_H_SIZE + 2 * INT_H_SIZE so the MSS can always hold INT_H_SIZE + MAX_H_SIZE, which also leaves room for name table items, and add tipc_bearer_mtu_floor(), which adds EMSG_OVERHEAD on top for CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO=y. Use it for the device MTU check (tipc_mtu_bad()), the UDP MTU check, the netlink MTU setting and tipc_bearer_min_mtu(), which also bounds the max_pkt negotiation. Found by manual code review, assisted by an LLM, and reproduced with KASAN using two network namespaces joined by a veth pair (see below). Fixes: fc1b6d6de220 ("tipc: introduce TIPC encryption & authentication") Fixes: 2320bcdae628 ("tipc: fix changeover issues due to large packet") Suggested-by: Tung Nguyen Signed-off-by: Joas Antonio dos Santos Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5-5 --- Changes in v4: - Rebased on net/main, on top of 592d0fdb02df ("tipc: bound the device MTU accepted for L2 bearers"); tipc_mtu_bad() keeps the new TIPC_MAX_BEARER_MTU upper bound and only the lower bound changes. No functional change otherwise. Changes in v3: - Keep the CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO dependency in one helper, tipc_bearer_mtu_floor(), instead of #ifdefs at each call site, as suggested by Paolo. tipc_mtu_bad() and tipc_udp_mtu_bad() use it, so tipc_mtu_bad_crypto() and the crypto.h include in udp_media.h are gone. The bounds are unchanged: 172 with crypto, 140 without. Changes in v2: - Derive the crypto bound from EMSG_OVERHEAD instead of a hard-coded 32: TIPC_MIN_BEARER_MTU_CRYPTO in crypto.h and tipc_mtu_bad_crypto(), as suggested by Tung. Drop the BUILD_BUG_ON(). - Apply the crypto bound to the UDP MTU check and the netlink MTU setting too. v4 builds cleanly on net/main with W=1, with and without CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO. The runtime results below are from v3, retested on 602042bf29f6 (arm64, QEMU, KASAN); the rebase does not change the bounds. With the reproducer below (node A with 40 cluster-scope publications and MTU 1500, node B enabling its bearer on a veth with the given MTU): config peer MTU bearer on B link KASAN unpatched 100 enabled up slab-out-of-bounds in publ_to_item() TIPC_CRYPTO=y 100 refused (too low) - none TIPC_CRYPTO=y 171 refused (too low) - none TIPC_CRYPTO=y 172 enabled up none TIPC_CRYPTO=y 1500 enabled up none TIPC_CRYPTO=n 100 refused (too low) - none TIPC_CRYPTO=n 139 refused (too low) - none TIPC_CRYPTO=n 140 enabled up none TIPC_CRYPTO=n 1500 enabled up none The reproducer exercises the bearer-enable check; the max_pkt negotiation in tipc_link_proto_rcv() uses the same bound through tipc_bearer_min_mtu() but was not hit separately with forged messages.
