the commit 1ddc3229ad3c ("skbuff: remove some unnecessary operation in skb_segment_list()") introduces an issue very similar to the one already fixed by commit 53475c5dd856 ("net: fix use-after-free when UDP GRO with shared fraglist"). If the GSO skb goes though skb_clone() and pskb_expand_head() before entering skb_segment_list(), the latter will unshare the frag_list skbs and will release the old list. With the reverted commit in place, when skb_segment_list() completes, skb->next points to the just released list, and later on the kernel will hit UaF. Note that since commit e0e3070a9bc9 ("udp: properly complete L4 GRO over UDP tunnel packet") the critical scenario can be reproduced also receiving UDP over vxlan traffic with: NIC (NETIF_F_GRO_FRAGLIST enabled) -> vxlan -> UDP sink Attaching a packet socket to the NIC will cause skb_clone() and the tunnel decapsulation will call pskb_expand_head().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
