AF_PACKET sends then retain the\nskb and its socket write-memory charge.\n\nA TX-enabled, link-down port keeps the broadcast transmit op installed.\nCarrier can stay up through a second link-up, TX-disabled port or be\nforced on by userspace. Free the original skb on the no-port path while\nleaving the existing drop accounting intact.\n\nDiscovered by Sashiko during review of previous commit." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/net/team/team_mode_broadcast.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5fc889911a99043a97da1daa0d010ad72cbc3042", "lessThan": "961563117626f4681623077ec0cfd86f86da0d49", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5fc889911a99043a97da1daa0d010ad72cbc3042", "lessThan": "f34b1bcac4581a5bd3daf9eff90f175e736b54aa", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5fc889911a99043a97da1daa0d010ad72cbc3042", "lessThan": "489114c9ecae44e523361a4b3e610ee5ebd9189c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/net/team/team_mode_broadcast.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "3.6", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "3.6", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.57", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "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": "3.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.57" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.11" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/961563117626f4681623077ec0cfd86f86da0d49" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f34b1bcac4581a5bd3daf9eff90f175e736b54aa" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/489114c9ecae44e523361a4b3e610ee5ebd9189c" } ], "title": "net: team: free skb when broadcast has no txable port", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
