Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ppp: associate skb with a device at tx Syzkaller triggered flow dissector warning with the following: r0 = openat$ppp(0xffffffffffffff9c, &(0x7f0000000000), 0xc0802, 0x0) ioctl$PPPIOCNEWUNIT(r0, 0xc004743e, &(0x7f00000000c0)) ioctl$PPPIOCSACTIVE(r0, 0x40107446, &(0x7f0000000240)={0x2, &(0x7f0000000180)=[{0x20, 0x0, 0x0, 0xfffff034}, {0x6}]}) pwritev(r0, &(0x7f0000000040)=[{&(0x7f0000000140)='\x00!', 0x2}], 0x1, 0x0, 0x0) [ 9.485814] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 329 at net/core/flow_dissector.c:1016 __skb_flow_dissect+0x1ee0/0x1fa0 [ 9.485929] skb_get_poff+0x53/0xa0 [ 9.485937] bpf_skb_get_pay_offset+0xe/0x20 [ 9.485944] ? ppp_send_frame+0xc2/0x5b0 [ 9.485949] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x40/0x60 [ 9.485958] ? __ppp_xmit_process+0x7a/0xe0 [ 9.485968] ? ppp_xmit_process+0x5b/0xb0 [ 9.485974] ? ppp_write+0x12a/0x190 [ 9.485981] ? do_iter_write+0x18e/0x2d0 [ 9.485987] ? __import_iovec+0x30/0x130 [ 9.485997] ? do_pwritev+0x1b6/0x240 [ 9.486016] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0x47/0x50 [ 9.486023] ? __x64_sys_pwritev+0x24/0x30 [ 9.486026] ? do_syscall_64+0x3d/0x80 [ 9.486031] ? entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd Flow dissector tries to find skb net namespace either via device or via socket. Neigher is set in ppp_send_frame, so let's manually use ppp->dev.
