But even the first added user of neigh_xmit (mpls) relied on\nneigh_xmit to release the skb (or queue it for tx).\n\nsashiko reported:\n If neigh_xmit() is called with an uninitialized neighbor table (for\n example, NEIGH_ND_TABLE when IPv6 is disabled), it returns -EAFNOSUPPORT\n and bypasses its internal out_kfree_skb error path. Because the return\n value of neigh_xmit() is ignored here, does this leak the SKB?\n\nAssume full ownership and remove the last code path that doesn't\nxmit or free skb."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/core/neighbour.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4fd3d7d9e868ffbdb0e7a67c5c8e9dfdcd846a62", "lessThan": "8a89054a1ec0767aec25ed2bbac933da6ba3cf5a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4fd3d7d9e868ffbdb0e7a67c5c8e9dfdcd846a62", "lessThan": "9247d59ca15bf60a57dca08103f055d8a4340877", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4fd3d7d9e868ffbdb0e7a67c5c8e9dfdcd846a62", "lessThan": "0084712e0bee204b284510cdb63182fd5a30c2b7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4fd3d7d9e868ffbdb0e7a67c5c8e9dfdcd846a62", "lessThan": "63063ba60d2dc334e34f1e3f9271d7f3f6f30307", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4fd3d7d9e868ffbdb0e7a67c5c8e9dfdcd846a62", "lessThan": "445e45a2c3a078316a62d2d331a570cf34ef5079", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4fd3d7d9e868ffbdb0e7a67c5c8e9dfdcd846a62", "lessThan": "4438113be604ee67a7bf4f81da6e1cca41332ce4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/core/neighbour.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4.1", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "4.1", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.175", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.141", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.91", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.33", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.0.10", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.0.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.175"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.141"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.91"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.33"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0.10"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.1", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a89054a1ec0767aec25ed2bbac933da6ba3cf5a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9247d59ca15bf60a57dca08103f055d8a4340877"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0084712e0bee204b284510cdb63182fd5a30c2b7"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/63063ba60d2dc334e34f1e3f9271d7f3f6f30307"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/445e45a2c3a078316a62d2d331a570cf34ef5079"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4438113be604ee67a7bf4f81da6e1cca41332ce4"}], "title": "neigh: let neigh_xmit take skb ownership", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
