eabdullin 42132178bc Bump version to 6.12.0-124.56.3
net: skbuff: propagate shared-frag marker through frag-transfer helpers

Replace 124.56.2's partial fix (which was a backport of Hyunwoo Kim's
v1 patch covering only __pskb_copy_fclone() and skb_try_coalesce())
with a backport of the upstream v3 patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/agW4vC0r8QOUKtRT@v4bel/

v3 also covers skb_shift() (the new hunk added in v2) and
skb_gro_receive() / skb_gro_receive_list() (the audit follow-up
suggested by Sultan Alsawaf in agVpIsaSherjHTYg@sultan-box).

All five sites moved frag descriptors between skbs without
propagating the SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG marker, so destinations could end
up referencing externally-owned or page-cache-backed pages while
reporting skb_has_shared_frag() as false. Combined with ESP-over-UDP
and UDP GRO, or any nf_dup_ipv4 / xt_TEE caller, this lets an
unprivileged user trigger in-place ESP decryption over root-owned
page-cache pages (CVE-2026-46300, "Fragnesia").

Subject: [PATCH AlmaLinux 10] net: skbuff: propagate shared-frag marker through frag-transfer helpers
Backport of upstream v3 patch posted at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/agW4vC0r8QOUKtRT@v4bel/
(sibling to upstream commit f4c50a4034e6 "xfrm: esp: avoid in-place
decrypt on shared skb frags", already part of 6.12.0-124.56.1 via the
c10s import).
Three frag-transfer helpers (__pskb_copy_fclone(), skb_try_coalesce(),
and skb_shift()) and the GRO accumulator helpers (skb_gro_receive()
and skb_gro_receive_list()) fail to propagate the SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG
bit in skb_shinfo()->flags when moving frag descriptors from source
to destination. As a result, the destination skb keeps a reference
to the same externally-owned or page-cache-backed pages while
reporting skb_has_shared_frag() as false.
The mismatch is harmful in any in-place writer that uses
skb_has_shared_frag() to decide whether shared pages must be detoured
through skb_cow_data(). ESP input is one such writer (esp4.c,
esp6.c). Combined with an nft 'dup to <local>' rule, an
nf_dup_ipv4() / xt_TEE caller, or ESP-over-UDP with UDP GRO, this
lets an unprivileged user write into the page cache of a root-owned
read-only file via authencesn-ESN stray writes (CVE-2026-46300,
"Fragnesia").
Set SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG on the destination whenever frag descriptors
were actually moved from the source. skb_copy() and skb_copy_expand()
share skb_copy_header() too but linearize all paged data into freshly
allocated head storage and emerge with nr_frags == 0, so
skb_has_shared_frag() returns false on its own; they need no change.
The same omission exists in skb_gro_receive() and
skb_gro_receive_list(). The former moves the incoming skb's frag
descriptors into the accumulator's last sub-skb via two paths plus a
"merge:" fallback that chains the whole skb onto frag_list; the
latter chains the incoming skb whole onto p's frag_list. Downstream
skb_segment() reads only skb_shinfo(p)->flags, and skb_segment_list()
reuses each sub-skb's shinfo as the nskb -- both p and lp must carry
the marker.
Fixes: cef401de7be8 ("net: fix possible wrong checksum generation")
Fixes: f4c50a4034e6 ("xfrm: esp: avoid in-place decrypt on shared skb frags")
