In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: device: fix out-of-bounds write in tls_append_frag()
Found with syzkaller and a local syzbot instance running on top of a netdevsim TLS offload emulation; tls_device.c is otherwise only reachable on a machine with a NIC that implements the offload.
tls_push_data() only checks whether the open record still has room for another frag at the bottom of its loop, and the MSG_MORE early break skips that check. The record survives to the next syscall with the frag count it already had, and tls_append_frag() does not check either, so with TLS_TX_ZEROCOPY_RO every splice(SPLICE_F_MORE) of a byte or two adds a non-coalescing pipe page and num_frags walks off the end of tls_record_info.frags[MAX_SKB_FRAGS]. Once the record is pushed, tls_push_record() runs the same index over sg_tx_data[MAX_SKB_FRAGS] and the sg_set_page() writes land on the destruct_work that follows it, which the workqueue then calls.
The byte limit is fine because copy drops to 0 and the loop falls through to the same check; the frag count has no such feedback.
Push the record rather than keep a full one open, which is what a plain TCP socket does - tcp_sendmsg_locked() uses tcp_mark_push() and new_segment in both the copy and the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES paths, and tls_sw already sets full_record when the sk_msg ring fills up, MSG_MORE or not.
