If frags arrive in order,\nthe last frag's reference is reset in:\n\n  inet_frag_reasm_prepare\n    skb_morph\n\nwhich is not straightforward.\n\nHowever when frags arrive out of order, nobody unref the last frag, and\nall frags are leaked. The situation is even worse, as initiating packet\ncapture can lead to a crash[0] when skb has been cloned and shared at the\nsame time.\n\nFix the issue by removing skb_get() before defragmentation. act_ct\nreturns TC_ACT_CONSUMED when defrag failed or in progress.\n\n[0]:\n[  843.804823] ------------[ cut here ]------------\n[  843.809659] kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:2091!\n[  843.814516] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP\n[  843.819296] CPU: 7 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/7 Kdump: loaded Tainted: G S 6.7.0-rc3 #2\n[  843.824107] Hardware name: XFUSION 1288H V6/BC13MBSBD, BIOS 1.29 11/25/2022\n[  843.828953] RIP: 0010:pskb_expand_head+0x2ac/0x300\n[  843.833805] Code: 8b 70 28 48 85 f6 74 82 48 83 c6 08 bf 01 00 00 00 e8 38 bd ff ff 8b 83 c0 00 00 00 48 03 83 c8 00 00 00 e9 62 ff ff ff 0f 0b <0f> 0b e8 8d d0 ff ff e9 b3 fd ff ff 81 7c 24 14 40 01 00 00 4c 89\n[  843.843698] RSP: 0018:ffffc9000cce07c0 EFLAGS: 00010202\n[  843.848524] RAX: 0000000000000002 RBX: ffff88811a211d00 RCX: 0000000000000820\n[  843.853299] RDX: 0000000000000640 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88811a211d00\n[  843.857974] RBP: ffff888127d39518 R08: 00000000bee97314 R09: 0000000000000000\n[  843.862584] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffff8881109f0000 R12: 0000000000000880\n[  843.867147] R13: ffff888127d39580 R14: 0000000000000640 R15: ffff888170f7b900\n[  843.871680] FS:  0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff889ffffc0000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n[  843.876242] CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n[  843.880778] CR2: 00007fa42affcfb8 CR3: 000000011433a002 CR4: 0000000000770ef0\n[  843.885336] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000\n[  843.889809] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400\n[  843.894229] PKRU: 55555554\n[  843.898539] Call Trace:\n[  843.902772]  <IRQ>\n[  843.906922]  ? __die_body+0x1e/0x60\n[  843.911032]  ? die+0x3c/0x60\n[  843.915037]  ? do_trap+0xe2/0x110\n[  843.918911]  ? pskb_expand_head+0x2ac/0x300\n[  843.922687]  ? do_error_trap+0x65/0x80\n[  843.926342]  ? pskb_expand_head+0x2ac/0x300\n[  843.929905]  ? exc_invalid_op+0x50/0x60\n[  843.933398]  ? pskb_expand_head+0x2ac/0x300\n[  843.936835]  ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x1a/0x20\n[  843.940226]  ? pskb_expand_head+0x2ac/0x300\n[  843.943580]  inet_frag_reasm_prepare+0xd1/0x240\n[  843.946904]  ip_defrag+0x5d4/0x870\n[  843.950132]  nf_ct_handle_fragments+0xec/0x130 [nf_conntrack]\n[  843.953334]  tcf_ct_act+0x252/0xd90 [act_ct]\n[  843.956473]  ? tcf_mirred_act+0x516/0x5a0 [act_mirred]\n[  843.959657]  tcf_action_exec+0xa1/0x160\n[  843.962823]  fl_classify+0x1db/0x1f0 [cls_flower]\n[  843.966010]  ? skb_clone+0x53/0xc0\n[  843.969173]  tcf_classify+0x24d/0x420\n[  843.972333]  tc_run+0x8f/0xf0\n[  843.975465]  __netif_receive_skb_core+0x67a/0x1080\n[  843.978634]  ? dev_gro_receive+0x249/0x730\n[  843.981759]  __netif_receive_skb_list_core+0x12d/0x260\n[  843.984869]  netif_receive_skb_list_internal+0x1cb/0x2f0\n[  843.987957]  ? mlx5e_handle_rx_cqe_mpwrq_rep+0xfa/0x1a0 [mlx5_core]\n[  843.991170]  napi_complete_done+0x72/0x1a0\n[  843.994305]  mlx5e_napi_poll+0x28c/0x6d0 [mlx5_core]\n[  843.997501]  __napi_poll+0x25/0x1b0\n[  844.000627]  net_rx_action+0x256/0x330\n[  844.003705]  __do_softirq+0xb3/0x29b\n[  844.006718]  irq_exit_rcu+0x9e/0xc0\n[  844.009672]  common_interrupt+0x86/0xa0\n[  844.012537]  </IRQ>\n[  844.015285]  <TASK>\n[  844.017937]  asm_common_interrupt+0x26/0x40\n[  844.020591] RIP: 0010:acpi_safe_halt+0x1b/0x20\n[  844.023247] Code: ff 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 40 00 65 48 8b 04 25 00 18 03 00 48 8b 00 a8 08 75 0c 66 90 0f 00 2d 81 d0 44 00 fb\n---truncated---","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-401"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0b5b831122fc3789fff75be433ba3e4dd7b779d4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/172ba7d46c202e679f3ccb10264c67416aaeb1c4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3f14b377d01d8357eba032b4cabc8c1149b458b6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/73f7da5fd124f2cda9161e2e46114915e6e82e97","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f5346df0591d10bc948761ca854b1fae6d2ef441"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:46:54.846886191+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-52610","score":0.00644,"percentile":0.50908,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
