The metadata_dst, which is used to\nstore the SCI value for macsec offload, is already freed by\nmetadata_dst_free() in macsec_free_netdev(), while driver still use it\nfor sending the packet.\n\nTo fix this issue, dst_release() is used instead to release\nmetadata_dst. So it is not freed instantly in macsec_free_netdev() if\nstill referenced by skb.\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in mlx5e_xmit+0x1e8f/0x4190 [mlx5_core]\n Read of size 2 at addr ffff88813e42e038 by task kworker/7:2/714\n [...]\n Workqueue: mld mld_ifc_work\n Call Trace:\n \n dump_stack_lvl+0x51/0x60\n print_report+0xc1/0x600\n kasan_report+0xab/0xe0\n mlx5e_xmit+0x1e8f/0x4190 [mlx5_core]\n dev_hard_start_xmit+0x120/0x530\n sch_direct_xmit+0x149/0x11e0\n __qdisc_run+0x3ad/0x1730\n __dev_queue_xmit+0x1196/0x2ed0\n vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit+0x32e/0x510 [8021q]\n dev_hard_start_xmit+0x120/0x530\n __dev_queue_xmit+0x14a7/0x2ed0\n macsec_start_xmit+0x13e9/0x2340\n dev_hard_start_xmit+0x120/0x530\n __dev_queue_xmit+0x14a7/0x2ed0\n ip6_finish_output2+0x923/0x1a70\n ip6_finish_output+0x2d7/0x970\n ip6_output+0x1ce/0x3a0\n NF_HOOK.constprop.0+0x15f/0x190\n mld_sendpack+0x59a/0xbd0\n mld_ifc_work+0x48a/0xa80\n process_one_work+0x5aa/0xe50\n worker_thread+0x79c/0x1290\n kthread+0x28f/0x350\n ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x70\n ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20\n \n\n Allocated by task 3922:\n kasan_save_stack+0x20/0x40\n kasan_save_track+0x10/0x30\n __kasan_kmalloc+0x77/0x90\n __kmalloc_noprof+0x188/0x400\n metadata_dst_alloc+0x1f/0x4e0\n macsec_newlink+0x914/0x1410\n __rtnl_newlink+0xe08/0x15b0\n rtnl_newlink+0x5f/0x90\n rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x667/0xa80\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x12c/0x360\n netlink_unicast+0x551/0x770\n netlink_sendmsg+0x72d/0xbd0\n __sock_sendmsg+0xc5/0x190\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x52e/0x6a0\n ___sys_sendmsg+0xeb/0x170\n __sys_sendmsg+0xb5/0x140\n do_syscall_64+0x4c/0x100\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53\n\n Freed by task 4011:\n kasan_save_stack+0x20/0x40\n kasan_save_track+0x10/0x30\n kasan_save_free_info+0x37/0x50\n poison_slab_object+0x10c/0x190\n __kasan_slab_free+0x11/0x30\n kfree+0xe0/0x290\n macsec_free_netdev+0x3f/0x140\n netdev_run_todo+0x450/0xc70\n rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x66f/0xa80\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x12c/0x360\n netlink_unicast+0x551/0x770\n netlink_sendmsg+0x72d/0xbd0\n __sock_sendmsg+0xc5/0x190\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x52e/0x6a0\n ___sys_sendmsg+0xeb/0x170\n __sys_sendmsg+0xb5/0x140\n do_syscall_64+0x4c/0x100\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "0a28bfd4971fd570d1f3e4653b21415becefc92c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "872932cf75cf859804370a265dd58118129386fa" }, { "version": "0a28bfd4971fd570d1f3e4653b21415becefc92c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "9f5ae743dbe9a2458540a7d35fff0f990df025cf" }, { "version": "0a28bfd4971fd570d1f3e4653b21415becefc92c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "4614640f1d5c93c22272117dc256e9940ccac8e8" }, { "version": "0a28bfd4971fd570d1f3e4653b21415becefc92c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "f1e54d11b210b53d418ff1476c6b58a2f434dfc0" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "6.1", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "6.1" }, { "version": "6.1.116", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.60", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.11.7", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.11.*" }, { "version": "6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
