[PATCH net] amt: refresh cached IP header pointers after MLD/IGMP checks

From: Xiang Mei (Microsoft)

Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 21:41:26 EST


amt_dev_xmit() and amt_update_handler() cache iph/ip6h before calling
ip_mc_check_igmp() / ipv6_mc_check_mld(), which may pskb_may_pull() a
non-linear skb and reallocate skb->head. The stale pointers are then
read (amt_dev_xmit: group.ip{4,6} = iph/ip6h->daddr; amt_update_handler:
ip{,v6}_eth_mc_map()), a slab-use-after-free. tx is reachable by an
unprivileged user whose amt device has SG enabled; rx by a tunnel peer
sending a membership update fragmented across several IP fragments.

Reload iph/ip6h after the check returns, like commit f0e42f0c4337
("ipv6: sit: reload inner IPv6 header after GSO offloads").

tx path:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in amt_dev_xmit (drivers/net/amt.c:1238)
Read of size 16 by task exploit

__dev_queue_xmit (net/core/dev.c:4872)
packet_sendmsg (net/packet/af_packet.c:3114)

rx path:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in amt_rcv (drivers/net/amt.c:2530)
Read of size 4 by task exploit
amt_rcv (drivers/net/amt.c:2530)

ip_local_deliver (net/ipv4/ip_input.c:262)
ip_rcv (net/ipv4/ip_input.c:612)
