Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-11-05 18:04:26 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: bpf: must hold reference on net namespace

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __nf_unregister_net_hook+0x640/0x6b0
Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880106fe400 by task repro/72=
bpf_nf_link_release+0xda/0x1e0
bpf_link_free+0x139/0x2d0
bpf_link_release+0x68/0x80
__fput+0x414/0xb60

Eric says:
 It seems that bpf was able to defer the __nf_unregister_net_hook()
 after exit()/close() time.
 Perhaps a netns reference is missing, because the netns has been
 dismantled/freed already.
 bpf_nf_link_attach() does :
 link->net = net;
 But I do not see a reference being taken on net.

Add such a reference and release it after hook unreg.
Note that I was unable to get syzbot reproducer to work, so I
do not know if this resolves this splat.
