This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled af_netlink: Fix shift out of bounds in group mask calculation to the 5.15-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: af_netlink-fix-shift-out-of-bounds-in-group-mask-cal.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5a38b8bbc212011579b790dbccbf9bbb1683ce9d Author: Petr Machata <petrm@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 17 15:53:06 2022 +0100 af_netlink: Fix shift out of bounds in group mask calculation [ Upstream commit 0caf6d9922192dd1afa8dc2131abfb4df1443b9f ] When a netlink message is received, netlink_recvmsg() fills in the address of the sender. One of the fields is the 32-bit bitfield nl_groups, which carries the multicast group on which the message was received. The least significant bit corresponds to group 1, and therefore the highest group that the field can represent is 32. Above that, the UB sanitizer flags the out-of-bounds shift attempts. Which bits end up being set in such case is implementation defined, but it's either going to be a wrong non-zero value, or zero, which is at least not misleading. Make the latter choice deterministic by always setting to 0 for higher-numbered multicast groups. To get information about membership in groups >= 32, userspace is expected to use nl_pktinfo control messages[0], which are enabled by NETLINK_PKTINFO socket option.
