CVE-2026-74476
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
veth: convert frag_list skbs before running XDP
A fraglist skb can reach veth with datalen set but nr_frags zero.
vethconvertskbtoxdp_buff() only converts skbs that are shared,
locked, have frags[], or do not have enough headroom. It later uses
skbisnonlinear() to decide whether to set XDPFLAGSHAS_FRAGS and
xdpfragssize.
That exposes frag_list data to XDP as if it were stored in frags[], but
frags[] is empty. AF_XDP copy mode can then trust the bogus XDP fragment
metadata, walk an empty fragment entry, and crash in memcpy() from
_xskrcv().
Route non-linear skbs through skbppcow_data() before exposing them to
XDP, and only advertise XDP frags when the resulting skb has frags[].
skbcopybits() already handles fraglist input, and skbppcowdata()
builds frags[] output with skbaddrx_frag(), which is the
representation XDP multi-buffer expects.
