[PATCH] mctp: route: verify socket ownership in mctp_lookup_prealloc_tag()
From: Hui Peng
Date: Sat Sep 19 2026 - 17:30:54 EST
When a socket transmits a packet with `MCTP_TAG_PREALLOC` set,
mctp_lookup_prealloc_tag() iterates over the per-netns `&mns->keys` list
and matches `netid`, `req_tag`, `peer_addr`, and `manual_alloc`, but
omits checking whether `tmp->sk == &msk->sk`.
Because all preallocated tags (`0..7`) reside in the shared per-netns
`&mns->keys` list, any local `AF_MCTP` socket can specify another
socket's preallocated tag and cause incoming replies to be matched
against the victim socket's `mctp_sk_key` or reset its expiry state.
Verify `tmp->sk == &msk->sk` in `mctp_lookup_prealloc_tag()`.
Fixes: 63ed1aab3d40 ("mctp: Add SIOCMCTP{ALLOC,DROP}TAG ioctls for tag control")
