      "title": "ipv6: anycast: insert aca into global hash under idev->lock",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nipv6: anycast: insert aca into global hash under idev->lock\n\nsyzbot reported a splat [1]: a slab-use-after-free in\nipv6_chk_acast_addr(), which walks the global inet6_acaddr_lst[] hash\nunder RCU and dereferences a struct ifacaddr6 that has already been\nfreed while still linked in the hash, so a later reader walks into a\ndangling node.\n\nIn __ipv6_dev_ac_inc() the aca is allocated with refcount 1, then\naca_get() bumps it to 2 to keep it alive across the unlocked region.\nIt is published to idev->ac_list under idev->lock, but\nipv6_add_acaddr_hash() runs after write_unlock_bh(). A concurrent\nteardown (ipv6_ac_destroy_dev() from addrconf_ifdown(), under RTNL)\ncan slip into that window:\n\n  CPU0 __ipv6_dev_ac_inc           CPU1 ipv6_ac_destroy_dev (RTNL)\n  ------------------------------   ------------------------------------\n  aca_alloc()              refcnt 1\n  aca_get()               refcnt 2\n  write_lock_bh(idev->lock)\n    add aca to ac_list\n  write_unlock_bh(idev->lock)\n                                   write_lock_bh(idev->lock)\n                                     pull aca off ac_list\n                                   write_unlock_bh(idev->lock)\n                                   ipv6_del_acaddr_hash(aca)\n                                     hlist_del_init_rcu() is a no-op,\n                                     aca is not in the hash yet\n                                   aca_put()           refcnt 2->1\n  ipv6_add_acaddr_hash(aca)\n    aca now inserted into the hash\n  aca_put()                refcnt 1->0\n    call_rcu(aca_free_rcu) -> kfree(aca)\n\nThe hash removal becomes a no-op because the insertion has not\nhappened yet, so once CPU0 inserts and drops the last reference, the\naca is freed while still linked in inet6_acaddr_lst[], and readers\ndereference freed memory after the slab slot is reused.\n\nThis window opened once RTNL stopped serializing the join path against\ndevice teardown. Move ipv6_add_acaddr_hash() inside the idev->lock\nsection so the ac_list and hash insertions are atomic with respect to\nteardown: a racing remover now either misses the aca entirely or finds\nit in both lists.\n\nacaddr_hash_lock is now nested under idev->lock, which is acquired in\nsoftirq context, so switch all acaddr_hash_lock sites to spin_lock_bh()\nto avoid the irq lock inversion reported in [2].\n\n[1] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a01df04303c131efbf3a\n[2] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/6a194ef7.ba3b1513.1890b4.0000.GAE@google.com/",
