CVE-2026-64566

xfrm: iptfs: propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG in iptfs_skb_add_frags()

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

xfrm: iptfs: propagate SKBFLSHAREDFRAG in iptfsskbadd_frags()

When iptfsskbadd_frags() copies frag references from the source

frag walk into a new SKB, it increments the page reference count via

_skbfragref() but does not propagate SKBFLSHARED_FRAG to the

destination SKB's skb_shinfo->flags.

If the source SKB carries shared frags (e.g. from a page-pool backed

receive path), the new inner SKB will appear to ESP as having privately

owned frags.  A subsequent esp_input() call for a nested transport-mode

SA then takes the no-COW fast path and decrypts in place, writing over

pages that are still referenced by the outer IPTFS SKB.  This causes

kernel-visible memory corruption and can trigger a panic.

All other frag-transfer helpers in the kernel (skbtrycoalesce,

skbgroreceive, _pskbcopyfclone, skbshift, skb_segment) correctly

propagate SKBFLSHAREDFRAG; align iptfsskbadd_frags() with this

convention by setting the flag inside the loop immediately after

_skbfragref() and nrfrags++, so every exit path that attaches a frag

unconditionally propagates SKBFLSHAREDFRAG.
