      "title": "bpf: Fix netns reference imbalance in conntrack kfuncs",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Fix netns reference imbalance in conntrack kfuncs\n\nThe opts argument of the BPF conntrack kfuncs can point to a shared\nmap value.  __bpf_nf_ct_lookup() and __bpf_nf_ct_alloc_entry() read\nopts->netns_id separately when acquiring and releasing the network\nnamespace reference.\n\nThe reference imbalance can occur as follows:\n\n  CPU 0                                  CPU 1\n  read opts->netns_id (-1)\n  skip get_net_ns_by_id()\n                                         write opts->netns_id (id)\n  read opts->netns_id (id)\n  put_net(net) /* no matching get */\n\nThe reverse transition leaks the reference.  Repeating the unmatched put\ncan destroy a live namespace and crash later users.\n\nThe kernel reported:\n\n  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address\n  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x00000000000000e8-0x00000000000000ef]\n  RIP: 0010:bpf_prog_test_run_xdp+0x52c/0x1700\n  Call Trace:\n   __sys_bpf+0x1662/0x50c0\n   __x64_sys_bpf+0x73/0xb0\n   do_syscall_64+0xf9/0x540\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception\n\nSnapshot every input field of opts with READ_ONCE() before validating or\nusing it.  The netns_id snapshot keeps the namespace get/put pair\nbalanced, while the other snapshots keep the remaining options from\nchanging partway through an invocation.  The individual reads can still\nobserve an inconsistent combination during a concurrent update, but each\nselected field value remains stable for that invocation.",
