Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: team: fix header_ops type confusion with non-Ethernet ports Similar to commit 950803f72547 ("bonding: fix type confusion in bond_setup_by_slave()") team has the same class of header_ops type confusion. For non-Ethernet ports, team_setup_by_port() copies port_dev->header_ops directly. When the team device later calls dev_hard_header() or dev_parse_header(), these callbacks can run with the team net_device instead of the real lower device, so netdev_priv(dev) is interpreted as the wrong private type and can crash. The syzbot report shows a crash in bond_header_create(), but the root cause is in team: the topology is gre -> bond -> team, and team calls the inherited header_ops with its own net_device instead of the lower device, so bond_header_create() receives a team device and interprets netdev_priv() as bonding private data, causing a type confusion crash. Fix this by introducing team header_ops wrappers for create/parse, selecting a team port under RCU, and calling the lower device callbacks with port->dev, so each callback always sees the correct net_device context. Also pass the selected lower device to the lower parse callback, so recursion is bounded in stacked non-Ethernet topologies and parse callbacks always run with the correct device context.

Following the higher-severity rule for type confusion, confidentiality impact is high.\\nI:H - Type confusion in kernel callback dispatch can lead to misinterpreted object pointers and potentially control-flow or write-primitive exploitation beyond the observed crash. Kernel type confusion is scored as high integrity impact.\\nA:H - The reported and expected failure mode is a kernel oops/BUG/crash when the inherited callback uses the wrong net_device private layout. This gives high availability impact.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"1d76efe1577b4323609b1bcbfafa8b731eda071a\", \"lessThan\": \"420e5aad7ba89e8f79e2dc8327b0c0c24c1c1d53\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"1d76efe1577b4323609b1bcbfafa8b731eda071a\", \"lessThan\": \"6d3161fa3eee64d46b766fb0db33ec7f300ef52d\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"1d76efe1577b4323609b1bcbfafa8b731eda071a\", \"lessThan\": \"0a7468ed49a6b65d34abcc6eb60e15f7f6d34da0\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"1d76efe1577b4323609b1bcbfafa8b731eda071a\", \"lessThan\": \"20491d384d973a63fbdaf7a71e38d69b0659ea55\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"1d76efe1577b4323609b1bcbfafa8b731eda071a\", \"lessThan\": \"425000dbf17373a4ab8be9428f5dc055ef870a56\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/net/team/team_core.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"3.7\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"3.7\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.145\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.12.80\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.18.21\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.19.11\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.19.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"7.0\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/net/team/team_core.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/420e5aad7ba89e8f79e2dc8327b0c0c24c1c1d53\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d3161fa3eee64d46b766fb0db33ec7f300ef52d\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0a7468ed49a6b65d34abcc6eb60e15f7f6d34da0\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/20491d384d973a63fbdaf7a71e38d69b0659ea55\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/425000dbf17373a4ab8be9428f5dc055ef870a56\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nteam: fix header_ops type confusion with non-Ethernet ports\\n\\nSimilar to commit 950803f72547 (\\\"bonding: fix type confusion in\\nbond_setup_by_slave()\\\") team has the same class of header_ops type\\nconfusion.\\n\\nFor non-Ethernet ports, team_setup_by_port() copies port_dev-\u003eheader_ops\\ndirectly.
