CVE-2026-89783

xfrm6: fix out-of-bounds write in xfrm6_input_addr() when secpath is full

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

xfrm6: fix out-of-bounds write in xfrm6inputaddr() when secpath is full

The depth check in xfrm6inputaddr() is off by one:

  if (1 + sp->len == XFRMMAXDEPTH)

          goto drop;

  ...

  sp->xvec[sp->len++] = x;

xfrminput() can leave sp->len == XFRMMAX_DEPTH, and the transport-mode

receive path re-enters IPv6 input via xfrmtransreinject() with that

secpath preserved. If the inner packet carries a destination-options HAO

option or a type-2 routing header, xfrm6inputaddr() is called with

sp->len == XFRMMAXDEPTH; the check (1 + 6 == 6) is false, so

sp->xvec[sp->len++] writes one slot past the 6-element xvec[]. The write

stays within the secpath allocation (invisible to KASAN); UBSANBOUNDS

flags it and panics under paniconwarn.

Use "sp->len >= XFRMMAXDEPTH", matching xfrm_input(). This also

restores one chain level the old check rejected at sp->len == 5.

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in net/ipv6/xfrm6_input.c:309:10

  index 6 is out of range for type 'xfrm_state *[6]'
