In virtio_net with napi_tx=N,\nskbs may remain in the virtio transmit ring for an extended period.\n\nIf the network namespace is destroyed while these skbs are still pending,\nthe corresponding dst_ops structure has freed. When a subsequent packet\nis transmitted, free_old_xmit() is triggered to clean up old skbs.\nIt then calls dst_release() on the skb associated with the stale dst_entry.\nSince the dst_ops (referenced by the dst_entry) has already been freed,\na UAF kernel paging request occurs.\n\nfix it by adds skb_dst_drop(skb) in start_xmit to explicitly release\nthe dst reference before the skb is queued in virtio_net.\n\nCall Trace:\n Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff80007e150000\n CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 6236 Comm: ping Kdump: loaded Not tainted 7.0.0-rc1+ #6 PREEMPT\n ...\n percpu_counter_add_batch+0x3c/0x158 lib/percpu_counter.c:98 (P)\n dst_release+0xe0/0x110 net/core/dst.c:177\n skb_release_head_state+0xe8/0x108 net/core/skbuff.c:1177\n sk_skb_reason_drop+0x54/0x2d8 net/core/skbuff.c:1255\n dev_kfree_skb_any_reason+0x64/0x78 net/core/dev.c:3469\n napi_consume_skb+0x1c4/0x3a0 net/core/skbuff.c:1527\n __free_old_xmit+0x164/0x230 drivers/net/virtio_net.c:611 [virtio_net]\n free_old_xmit drivers/net/virtio_net.c:1081 [virtio_net]\n start_xmit+0x7c/0x530 drivers/net/virtio_net.c:3329 [virtio_net]\n ...\n\nReproduction Steps:\nNETDEV=\"enp3s0\"\n\nconfig_qdisc_route_filter() {\n tc qdisc del dev $NETDEV root\n tc qdisc add dev $NETDEV root handle 1: prio\n tc filter add dev $NETDEV parent 1:0 \\\n\tprotocol ip prio 100 route to 100 flowid 1:1\n ip route add 192.168.1.100/32 dev $NETDEV realm 100\n}\n\ntest_ns() {\n ip netns add testns\n ip link set $NETDEV netns testns\n ip netns exec testns ifconfig $NETDEV 10.0.32.46/24\n ip netns exec testns ping -c 1 10.0.32.1\n ip netns del testns\n}\n\nconfig_qdisc_route_filter\n\ntest_ns\nsleep 2\ntest_ns", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "f2fc6a54585a1be6669613a31fbaba2ecbadcd36", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "be0e63f3b97bbaf453c542e8a15ba2a536e2ac01" }, { "version": "f2fc6a54585a1be6669613a31fbaba2ecbadcd36", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "c1ec36cb3768574b916f20d2d7415fd14fa1bf12" }, { "version": "f2fc6a54585a1be6669613a31fbaba2ecbadcd36", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "8a4790850e710fd6771e4d2112168ed1dd6c0e54" }, { "version": "f2fc6a54585a1be6669613a31fbaba2ecbadcd36", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "fedd2e1630cac920844997227ccbe7b26a76375a" }, { "version": "f2fc6a54585a1be6669613a31fbaba2ecbadcd36", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "f04733c4dc40c43899c3d1c97afbae5831a3770f" }, { "version": "f2fc6a54585a1be6669613a31fbaba2ecbadcd36", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "9a18629f2525781f0f3dda7be72b204e4cf77d08" }, { "version": "f2fc6a54585a1be6669613a31fbaba2ecbadcd36", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "63d45077b97bb0e0fe0c75931acbbca7a47af141" }, { "version": "f2fc6a54585a1be6669613a31fbaba2ecbadcd36", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "ba8bda9a0896746053aa97ac6c3e08168729172c" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.26", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "2.6.26" }, { "version": "5.10.253", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*" }, { "version": "5.15.203", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*" }, { "version": "6.1.168", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.131", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.12.80", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.18.21", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*" }, { "version": "6.19.11", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*" }, { "version": "7.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
