CVE-2026-46323 PUBLISHED

net: gro: don't merge zcopy skbs

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 13.05.2026 Published: 09.06.2026 Updated: 09.06.2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: gro: don't merge zcopy skbs

skb_gro_receive() can currently copy frags between the source and GRO skb, without checking the zerocopy status, and in particular the SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS flag.

When SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS is set, the skb doesn't hold a reference on the pages in shinfo->frags. Appending those frags to another skb's frags without fixing up the page refcount can lead to UAF.

When either the last skb in the GRO chain (the one we would append frags to) or the source skb is zerocopy, don't merge the skbs.
