This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: sctp: fix skb leak in sctp_inq_free() to the 6.1-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: net-sctp-fix-skb-leak-in-sctp_inq_free.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 46fa42f00af85de45310a2b2d92096d1c21a1ad6 Author: Dmitry Antipov <dmantipov@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 14 11:22:24 2024 +0300 net: sctp: fix skb leak in sctp_inq_free() [ Upstream commit 4e45170d9acc2d5ae8f545bf3f2f67504a361338 ] In case of GSO, 'chunk->skb' pointer may point to an entry from fraglist created in 'sctp_packet_gso_append()'. To avoid freeing random fraglist entry (and so undefined behavior and/or memory leak), introduce 'sctp_inq_chunk_free()' helper to ensure that 'chunk->skb' is set to 'chunk->head_skb' (i.e. fraglist head) before calling 'sctp_chunk_free()', and use the aforementioned helper in 'sctp_inq_pop()' as well.
