CVE-2026-81002
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xdp: fix zero-copy frame layout xdp_convert_zc_to_xdp_frame() clones an XSK packet into an order-0 page and advertises PAGE_SIZE as its frame size. It allows the copied frame to occupy the page tail needed by skb_shared_info and records zero headroom even when metadata separates the frame header from packet data. An AF_XDP zero-copy packet redirected through cpumap can therefore make the skb overlap skb_shared_info or place it beyond the allocated page. Limit the copied layout to SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(PAGE_SIZE) and include the metadata length in frame headroom. Redirect callers already handle a NULL conversion result. BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in skb_gro_receive Write of size 4 at addr ffff88800cf37004 by task cpumap/1/map:1/146 Call Trace: skb_gro_receive (net/core/gro.c:174) udp_gro_receive (net/ipv4/udp_offload.c:812) inet_gro_receive (net/ipv4/af_inet.c:1539) dev_gro_receive (net/core/gro.c:515) gro_receive_skb (net/core/gro.c:633) cpu_map_kthread_run (kernel/bpf/cpumap.c:395) kthread (kernel/kthread.c:436) ret_from_fork (arch/x86/kernel/process.c:164) ret_from_fork_asm (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:255) Kernel panic - not syncing: KASAN: panic_on_warn set ...
