Diag for raw\nsockets uses the pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2 for the\nunderlying protocol. This field corresponds to the sdiag_raw_protocol\nfield in struct inet_diag_req_raw.\n\ninet_diag_get_exact_compat() converts inet_diag_req to\ninet_diag_req_v2, but leaves the pad field uninitialized. So the issue\noccurs when raw_lookup() accesses the sdiag_raw_protocol field.\n\nFix this by initializing the pad field in\ninet_diag_get_exact_compat(). Also, do the same fix in\ninet_diag_dump_compat() to avoid the similar issue in the future.\n\n[1]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in raw_lookup net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:49 [inline]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in raw_sock_get+0x657/0x800 net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:71\n raw_lookup net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:49 [inline]\n raw_sock_get+0x657/0x800 net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:71\n raw_diag_dump_one+0xa1/0x660 net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:99\n inet_diag_cmd_exact+0x7d9/0x980\n inet_diag_get_exact_compat net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1404 [inline]\n inet_diag_rcv_msg_compat+0x469/0x530 net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1426\n sock_diag_rcv_msg+0x23d/0x740 net/core/sock_diag.c:282\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x537/0x670 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2564\n sock_diag_rcv+0x35/0x40 net/core/sock_diag.c:297\n netlink_unicast_kernel net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1335 [inline]\n netlink_unicast+0xe74/0x1240 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1361\n netlink_sendmsg+0x10c6/0x1260 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1905\n sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:730 [inline]\n __sock_sendmsg+0x332/0x3d0 net/socket.c:745\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x7f0/0xb70 net/socket.c:2585\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x271/0x3b0 net/socket.c:2639\n __sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2668 [inline]\n __do_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2677 [inline]\n __se_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2675 [inline]\n __x64_sys_sendmsg+0x27e/0x4a0 net/socket.c:2675\n x64_sys_call+0x135e/0x3ce0 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:47\n do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline]\n do_syscall_64+0xd9/0x1e0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\nUninit was stored to memory at:\n raw_sock_get+0x650/0x800 net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:71\n raw_diag_dump_one+0xa1/0x660 net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:99\n inet_diag_cmd_exact+0x7d9/0x980\n inet_diag_get_exact_compat net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1404 [inline]\n inet_diag_rcv_msg_compat+0x469/0x530 net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1426\n sock_diag_rcv_msg+0x23d/0x740 net/core/sock_diag.c:282\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x537/0x670 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2564\n sock_diag_rcv+0x35/0x40 net/core/sock_diag.c:297\n netlink_unicast_kernel net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1335 [inline]\n netlink_unicast+0xe74/0x1240 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1361\n netlink_sendmsg+0x10c6/0x1260 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1905\n sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:730 [inline]\n __sock_sendmsg+0x332/0x3d0 net/socket.c:745\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x7f0/0xb70 net/socket.c:2585\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x271/0x3b0 net/socket.c:2639\n __sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2668 [inline]\n __do_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2677 [inline]\n __se_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2675 [inline]\n __x64_sys_sendmsg+0x27e/0x4a0 net/socket.c:2675\n x64_sys_call+0x135e/0x3ce0 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:47\n do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline]\n do_syscall_64+0xd9/0x1e0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\nLocal variable req.i created at:\n inet_diag_get_exact_compat net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1396 [inline]\n inet_diag_rcv_msg_compat+0x2a6/0x530 net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1426\n sock_diag_rcv_msg+0x23d/0x740 net/core/sock_diag.c:282\n\nCPU: 1 PID: 8888 Comm: syz-executor.6 Not tainted 6.10.0-rc4-00217-g35bb670d65fc #32\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-2.fc40 04/01/2014","published":"2024-07-30T08:15:03.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-15T01:18:44.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-908"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00265,"percentile":0.18303,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.27%).
