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

sctp: disable BH before calling udp_tunnel_xmit_skb()

udp_tunnel_xmit_skb() / udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() are expected to run with BH disabled. After commit 6f1a9140ecda ("add xmit recursion limit to tunnel xmit functions"), on the path:

udp(6)_tunnel_xmit_skb() -> ip(6)tunnel_xmit()

dev_xmit_recursion_inc()/dec() must stay balanced on the same CPU.

Without local_bh_disable(), the context may move between CPUs, which can break the inc/dec pairing. This may lead to incorrect recursion level detection and cause packets to be dropped in ip(6)_tunnel_xmit() or __dev_queue_xmit().

Fix it by disabling BH around both IPv4 and IPv6 SCTP UDP xmit paths.

In my testing, after enabling the SCTP over UDP:

# ip net exec ha sysctl -w net.sctp.udp_port=9899 # ip net exec ha sysctl -w net.sctp.encap_port=9899 # ip net exec hb sysctl -w net.sctp.udp_port=9899 # ip net exec hb sysctl -w net.sctp.encap_port=9899

# ip net exec ha iperf3 -s
