Title
net: preserve skb_end_offset() in skb_unclone_keeptruesize()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: preserve skb_end_offset() in skb_unclone_keeptruesize()
syzbot found another way to trigger the infamous WARN_ON_ONCE(delta < len)
in skb_try_coalesce() [1]
I was able to root cause the issue to kfence.
When kfence is in action, the following assertion is no longer true:
int size = xxxx;
void *ptr1 = kmalloc(size, gfp);
void *ptr2 = kmalloc(size, gfp);
if (ptr1 && ptr2)
ASSERT(ksize(ptr1) == ksize(ptr2));
We attempted to fix these issues in the blamed commits, but forgot
that TCP was possibly shifting data after skb_unclone_keeptruesize()
has been used, notably from tcp_retrans_try_collapse().
So we not only need to keep same skb->truesize value,
we also need to make sure TCP wont fill new tailroom
that pskb_expand_head() was able to get from a
addr = kmalloc(...) followed by ksize(addr)
Split skb_unclone_keeptruesize() into two parts:
1) Inline skb_unclone_keeptruesize() for the common case,
when skb is not cloned.
2) Out of line __skb_unclone_keeptruesize() for the 'slow path'.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
