From 2a779fc66c92c737e11d1f6fbc5e5e2d6cb752e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Lukoshko Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 16:16:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Apply Dirty Frag fixes (CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500) Apply the same Patch1100 (xfrm/esp) and Patch1101 (rxrpc) shipped on the AlmaLinux 10 main branch. Release is not bumped since 226 has not yet shipped to users; a second changelog entry is added under the existing 6.12.0-226 version. --- ...id-in-place-decrypt-shared-skb-frags.patch | 77 +++++++++++++++++++ 1101-rxrpc-linearize-paged-frags.patch | 69 +++++++++++++++++ kernel.spec | 8 ++ 3 files changed, 154 insertions(+) create mode 100644 1100-xfrm-esp-avoid-in-place-decrypt-shared-skb-frags.patch create mode 100644 1101-rxrpc-linearize-paged-frags.patch diff --git a/1100-xfrm-esp-avoid-in-place-decrypt-shared-skb-frags.patch b/1100-xfrm-esp-avoid-in-place-decrypt-shared-skb-frags.patch new file mode 100644 index 000000000..0fe6a5691 --- /dev/null +++ b/1100-xfrm-esp-avoid-in-place-decrypt-shared-skb-frags.patch @@ -0,0 +1,77 @@ +From: Andrew Lukoshko +Subject: [PATCH AlmaLinux 10] xfrm: esp: avoid in-place decrypt on shared skb frags + +Direct cherry-pick of upstream commit f4c50a4034e6 for AlmaLinux 10 +(6.12 kernel). + +Verified to apply with `patch -p1 -F0` (no offset, no fuzz, no rejects) +against kernel-6.12.0-124.55.1.el10_1. + +ESP-in-UDP packets built from MSG_SPLICE_PAGES (pipe pages) look like +ordinary uncloned nonlinear skbs to ESP input, which takes the no-COW +fast path and decrypts in place over data that is not owned privately +by the skb.

The age-equivalent code path on AlmaLinux 10 is the +centralized skb_unshare() in net/rxrpc/io_thread.c that is run for +every DATA packet with a non-zero securityIndex before in-place +decryption. + +skb_unshare() only handles cloned skbs. An skb that is non-cloned but +carries paged fragments (skb->data_len != 0) — e.g. pages attached via +udp_sendpage() / splice() / MSG_SPLICE_PAGES on a UDP socket carrying +rxrpc traffic — slips through and is decrypted in place over data the +skb does not own privately.
