This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xfrm: Reject optional tunnel/BEET mode templates in outbound policies to the 6.3-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: xfrm-reject-optional-tunnel-beet-mode-templates-in-o.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 49081db475ee0511d01931eb6c8fa37e3ff78f7a Author: Tobias Brunner <tobias@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue May 9 10:59:58 2023 +0200 xfrm: Reject optional tunnel/BEET mode templates in outbound policies [ Upstream commit 3d776e31c841ba2f69895d2255a49320bec7cea6 ] xfrm_state_find() uses `encap_family` of the current template with the passed local and remote addresses to find a matching state. If an optional tunnel or BEET mode template is skipped in a mixed-family scenario, there could be a mismatch causing an out-of-bounds read as the addresses were not replaced to match the family of the next template. While there are theoretical use cases for optional templates in outbound policies, the only practical one is to skip IPComp states in inbound policies if uncompressed packets are received that are handled by an implicitly created IPIP state instead.
