Message-ID: <2025120843-CVE-2023-53752-339f@gregkh>

Subject: CVE-2023-53752: net: deal with integer overflows in kmalloc_reserve()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: deal with integer overflows in kmalloc_reserve()
Blamed commit changed:
ptr = kmalloc(size);
if (ptr)
size = ksize(ptr);
size = kmalloc_size_roundup(size);
ptr = kmalloc(size);
This allowed various crash as reported by syzbot [1]
and Kyle Zeng.
Problem is that if @size is bigger than 0x80000001,
kmalloc_size_roundup(size) returns 2^32.
kmalloc_reserve() uses a 32bit variable (obj_size),
so 2^32 is truncated to 0.
kmalloc(0) returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR which is not handled by
skb allocations.
Following trace can be triggered if a netdev->mtu is set
close to 0x7fffffff
We might in the future limit netdev->mtu to more sensible
limit (like KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE).
This patch is based on a syzbot report, and also a report
and tentative fix from Kyle Zeng.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
