From ff44ec94d4fc8348600a69de0a8fa1102c23bce8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2026 12:34:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net/tcp-md5: Fix MAC comparison to be constant-time commit 46d0d6f50dab706637f4c18a470aac20a21900d3 upstream. To prevent timing attacks, MACs need to be compared in constant time. Use the appropriate helper function for this. Fixes: cfb6eeb4c860 ("[TCP]: MD5 Signature Option (RFC2385) support.") Fixes: 658ddaaf6694 ("tcp: md5: RST: getting md5 key from listener") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260302203409.13388-1-ebiggers@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Li hongliang <1468888505@139.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c | 5 +++-- net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c | 5 +++-- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c b/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c index 43415de60d7f..7e4a9090abd7 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c +++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c @@ -78,6 +78,7 @@ #include #include +#include #include #include @@ -763,7 +764,7 @@ static void tcp_v4_send_reset(const struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb) genhash = tcp_v4_md5_hash_skb(newhash, key, NULL, skb); - if (genhash || memcmp(hash_location, newhash, 16) != 0) + if (genhash || crypto_memneq(hash_location, newhash, 16)) goto out; } @@ -1467,7 +1468,7 @@ static bool tcp_v4_inbound_md5_hash(const struct sock *sk, hash_expected, NULL, skb); - if (genhash || memcmp(hash_location, newhash, 16) != 0) { + if (genhash || crypto_memneq(hash_location, newhash, 16)) { NET_INC_STATS(sock_net(sk), LINUX_MIB_TCPMD5FAILURE); net_info_ratelimited("MD5 Hash failed for (%pI4, %d)->(%pI4, %d)%s L3 index %d\n", &iph->saddr, ntohs(th->source), diff --git a/net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c b/net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c index e1ca8b73ec08..e972bbb75418 100644 --- a/net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c +++ b/net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c @@ -63,6 +63,7 @@ #include #include +#include #include #include @@ -810,7 +811,7 @@ static bool tcp_v6_inbound_md5_hash(const struct sock *sk, hash_expected, NULL, skb); - if (genhash || memcmp(hash_location, newhash, 16) != 0) { + if (genhash || crypto_memneq(hash_location, newhash, 16)) { NET_INC_STATS(sock_net(sk), LINUX_MIB_TCPMD5FAILURE); net_info_ratelimited("MD5 Hash %s for [%pI6c]:%u->[%pI6c]:%u L3 index %d\n", genhash ?
