From: Weiming Shi Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 02:46:54 +0000 (-0700) Subject: openvswitch: cap upcall PID array size and pre-size vport replies X-Git-Tag: v7.1-rc1~36^2~48 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2091c6aa0df6aba47deb5c8ab232b1cb60af3519;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git openvswitch: cap upcall PID array size and pre-size vport replies The vport netlink reply helpers allocate a fixed-size skb with nlmsg_new(NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE, ...) but serialize the full upcall PID array via ovs_vport_get_upcall_portids(). Since ovs_vport_set_upcall_portids() accepts any non-zero multiple of sizeof(u32) with no upper bound, a CAP_NET_ADMIN user can install a PID array large enough to overflow the reply buffer, causing nla_put() to fail with -EMSGSIZE and hitting BUG_ON(err < 0). On systems with unprivileged user namespaces enabled (e.g., Ubuntu default), this is reachable via unshare -Urn since OVS vport mutation operations use GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM. kernel BUG at net/openvswitch/datapath.c:2414!
