DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rxrpc: Also unshare DATA/RESPONSE packets when paged frags are present

The DATA-packet handler in rxrpc_input_call_event() and the RESPONSE handler in rxrpc_verify_response() copy the skb to a linear one before calling into the security ops only when skb_cloned() is true. An skb that is not cloned but still carries externally-owned paged fragments (e.g. SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG set by splice() into a UDP socket via __ip_append_data, or a chained skb_has_frag_list()) falls through to the in-place decryption path, which binds the frag pages directly into the AEAD/skcipher SGL via skb_to_sgvec().

Extend the gate to also unshare when skb_has_frag_list() or skb_has_shared_frag() is true. This catches the splice-loopback vector and other externally-shared frag sources while preserving the zero-copy fast path for skbs whose frags are kernel-private (e.g. NIC page_pool RX, GRO). The OOM/trace handling already in place is reused.

AnalysisAI

Buffer overflow in Linux kernel rxrpc subsystem allows local authenticated attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of shared fragment memory in DATA and RESPONSE packet processing, where the kernel fails to unshare externally-owned page fragments before in-place decryption operations. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all systems running Linux kernel versions prior to 6.18.29, 7.0.6, or 7.1-rc3 and isolate high-risk assets from production if patching cannot be immediately applied. Within 7 days: apply vendor-released patches-upgrade to kernel 6.18.29, 7.0.6, or 7.1-rc3 or later across all affected infrastructure, prioritizing systems with untrusted user access. …
