CVE-2026-98306

Unknown

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: seg6: set IPSKB_L3SLAVE from IP6SKB_L3SLAVE on IPIP decapsulation When an SRv6 packet arrives on an interface enslaved to a VRF, vrf_ip6_rcv() sets IP6SKB_L3SLAVE in IP6CB, but decap_and_validate() has never set IPSKB_L3SLAVE in IPCB. The bit stayed clear in the common case, and with CONFIG_IPV6_MIP6 the leftover frag_max_size of a reassembled outer packet could even set it, with no VRF involved. Commit 44930446dde4 ("ipv6: seg6: clear IPv4 control block on IPIP decapsulation") then made the unreliable bit reliably clear. The effect of the missing flag is visible with End.DX4 when a delivery to a local address of the node reaches the socket lookup. For example, a UDP socket bound to the enslaved ingress interface does not receive any of the decapsulated packets, while an unbound socket outside the VRF does. This contradicts Documentation/networking/vrf.rst: by default the scope of an unbound UDP or TCP socket is limited to the default VRF. Set IPSKB_L3SLAVE for IPv4 in decap_and_validate(), which already does the same for IPv6. The socket lookup then matches the decapsulated packet like any other packet received on that enslaved interface. Such a packet matches an unbound UDP or TCP socket only when udp_l3mdev_accept or tcp_l3mdev_accept is set.
