[PATCH net-next v2 0/2] net: isolate SKB data area allocations
From: Pedro Falcato
Date: Thu Jun 11 2026 - 08:51:01 EST
This is a rather simple series that attempts to address a possible
exploitation avenue - the allocation of skbs around the network stack, which
frequently get user-controlled contents. Found while doing some amateur
exploitation analysis for some other issue, elsewhere.
Patch 0 is a precursor patch that adds a slab allocation helper, patch 1
does the actual bucketing.
v2:
- Pick up A-b, R-b tags (thanks everyone!)
- Cover kmalloc_pfmemalloc as well (Harry)
Pedro Falcato (2):
mm/slab: add a node-track-caller variant for kmem buckets allocation
net: skb: isolate skb data area allocations into a separate bucket
