CVE-2026-68289: tipc: fix integer overflow in tipc_recvmsg() and tipc_recvstream()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tipc: fix integer overflow in tipc_recvmsg() and tipc_recvstream()

In tipc_recvmsg(), the copy length is computed as:

  copy = min_t(int, dlen - offset, buflen);

buflen is size_t but min_t(int, ...) casts it to int. When buflen
exceeds INT_MAX (e.g. 0xFFFFFFFF via io_uring provided buffers), it
wraps negative, wins the comparison, and the negative copy length
propagates to simple_copy_to_iter() where int-to-size_t promotion
makes it SIZE_MAX, triggering a WARN_ON. tipc_recvstream() has the
same pattern.

  Kernel panic - not syncing: kernel: panic_on_warn set ...
  RIP: 0010:simple_copy_to_iter+0x9e/0xd0 (net/core/datagram.c:521)
  Call Trace:
   __skb_datagram_iter+0x123/0x8b0 (net/core/datagram.c:402)
   skb_copy_datagram_iter+0x77/0x1a0 (net/core/datagram.c:534)
   tipc_recvmsg+0x3d7/0xe80 (net/tipc/socket.c:1934)
   io_recvmsg+0x47e/0xda0

Fix by changing min_t(int, ...) to min_t(size_t, ...) in both
functions. The result is always <= (dlen - offset), which is bounded
by TIPC maximum message size (0x1ffff bytes), so the implicit
narrowing on assignment to int copy is always safe.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68289 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fe9bf32bb18f2d35789d4960fb007d1059bbaa38
