CVE-2026-23343: xdp: produce a warning when calculated tailroom is negative

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.14% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 01379540452a02bbc52f639d45dd365cd3624efb, 8821e857759be9db3cde337ad328b71fe5c8a55f, 94b9da7e9f958cb3d115b21eff824ecd8c3217aa; azl3 kernel 6.6.126.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.130.1-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 01379540452a02bbc52f639d45dd365cd3624efb, 8821e857759be9db3cde337ad328b71fe5c8a55f, 94b9da7e9f958cb3d115b21eff824ecd8c3217aa; azl3 kernel 6.6.126.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.130.1-1 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xdp: produce a warning when calculated tailroom is negative Many ethernet drivers report xdp Rx queue frag size as being the same as DMA write size. However, the only user of this field, namely bpf_xdp_frags_increase_tail(), clearly expects a truesize. Such difference leads to unspecific memory corruption issues under certain circumstances, e.g. in ixgbevf maximum DMA write size is 3 KB, so when running xskxceiver's XDP_ADJUST_TAIL_GROW_MULTI_BUFF, 6K packet fully uses all DMA-writable space in 2 buffers. This would be fine, if only rxq->frag_size was properly set to 4K, but value of 3K results in a negative tailroom, because there is a non-zero page offset. We are supposed to return -EINVAL and be done with it in such case, but due to tailroom being stored as an unsigned int, it is reported to be somewhere near UINT_MAX, resulting in a tail being grown, even if the requested offset is too much (it is around 2K in the abovementioned test). This later leads to all kinds of unspecific calltraces.
