This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tipc: only accept encrypted MSG_CRYPTO msgs to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tipc-only-accept-encrypted-msg_crypto-msgs.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e034eb7cda0c45a01d7755867145f11fd1ff9a0d Author: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 15 07:45:24 2021 -0500 tipc: only accept encrypted MSG_CRYPTO msgs [ Upstream commit 271351d255b09e39c7f6437738cba595f9b235be ] The MSG_CRYPTO msgs are always encrypted and sent to other nodes for keys' deployment. But when receiving in peers, if those nodes do not validate it and make sure it's encrypted, one could craft a malicious MSG_CRYPTO msg to deploy its key with no need to know other nodes' keys. This patch is to do that by checking TIPC_SKB_CB(skb)->decrypted and discard it if this packet never got decrypted. Note that this is also a supplementary fix to CVE-2021-43267 that can be triggered by an unencrypted malicious MSG_CRYPTO msg.
