It sets every\nfield of the header except rtm_tos:\n\n\tr = nlmsg_data(nlh);\n\tr->rtm_family\t = AF_MPLS;\n\tr->rtm_dst_len\t= 20;\n\tr->rtm_src_len\t= 0;\n\tr->rtm_table\t= RT_TABLE_MAIN;\n\tr->rtm_type\t= RTN_UNICAST;\n\tr->rtm_scope\t= RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE;\n\tr->rtm_protocol = rt->rt_protocol;\n\tr->rtm_flags\t= 0;\n\nstruct rtmsg has no padding, so the one uninitialised byte rtm_tos\n(offset 3) is copied straight to user space on recvmsg(), leaking a\nbyte of uninitialised heap memory. This is in contrast to\nmpls_dump_route(), which fills the very same header and does set\nrtm_tos = 0.\n\nInitialize rtm_tos to 0, matching mpls_dump_route().\n\nReproduced with KMSAN by adding an MPLS route and issuing a\nnon-RTM_F_FIB_MATCH RTM_GETROUTE for its label:\n\n  BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in _copy_to_iter+0x36c/0x33f0\n   _copy_to_iter+0x36c/0x33f0\n   __skb_datagram_iter+0x196/0x12c0\n   skb_copy_datagram_iter+0x5b/0x210\n   netlink_recvmsg+0x37b/0xef0\n   ...\n  Uninit was created at:\n   __alloc_skb+0x8ca/0x10e0\n   mpls_getroute+0x1280/0x3a40\n   rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x1138/0x15a0\n   ...\n  Byte 19 of 64 is uninitialized\n\n(byte 19 = nlmsghdr(16) + rtmsg offset 3 = rtm_tos)","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1fea5ff0eb4aa7e951bb3d380248566c473aa377","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/248718fd88b146d8bdc7610ecd1eb4cd16e0b5a1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/295dd295e2137e10e9a5b1891d97e0f08de76f03","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2dc2fffc704a4365cae1aae078ba62223aaeff93","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/466b474a8deb0c93b5280c6d261e5eda6482eca7"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:49:10.689564601+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-74577","score":0.00165,"percentile":0.05737,"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).
