What the advisory describes

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tls: device: fix out-of-bounds write in tls_append_frag() Found with syzkaller and a local syzbot instance running on top of a netdevsim TLS offload emulation; tls_device.c is otherwise only reachable on a machine with a NIC that implements the offload. tls_push_data() only checks whether the open record still has room for another frag at the bottom of its loop, and the MSG_MORE early break skips that check. The record survives to the next syscall with the frag count it already had, and tls_append_frag() does not check either, so with TLS_TX_ZEROCOPY_RO every splice(SPLICE_F_MORE) of a byte or two adds a non-coalescing pipe page and num_frags walks off the end of tls_record_info.frags[MAX_SKB_FRAGS]. Once the record is pushed, tls_push_record() runs the same index over sg_tx_data[MAX_SKB_FRAGS] and the sg_set_page() writes land on the destruct_work that follows it, which the workqueue then calls. The byte limit is fine because copy drops to 0 and the loop falls through to the same check; the frag count has no such feedback. Push the record rather than keep a full one open, which is what a plain TCP socket does - tcp_sendmsg_locked() uses tcp_mark_push() and new_segment in both the copy and the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES paths, and tls_sw already sets full_record when the sk_msg ring fills up, MSG_MORE or not.

Products the advisory names

These come from the advisory itself, not from any check we performed.

The versions shown are the advisory's own. Patchlage compares no version numbers and derives no judgement from them — which version is installed is something a person has to look up.

Carried in the product catalogue

An estate covering these products can be recorded in Patchlage. An advisory about them appears in the next morning's situation report.

Does this concern one of your customers?

This page cannot answer that — it does not know your estate. Whoever has recorded their environments gets the answer the morning after publication, together with a paragraph they can forward to the customer unedited.
