From 9434266f2c645d4fcf62a03a8e36ad8075e37943 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Willem de Bruijn Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 21:27:38 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] sit: fix use after free of fb_tunnel_dev Bug: The fallback device is created in sit_init_net and assumed to be freed in sit_exit_net. First, it is dereferenced in that function, in sit_destroy_tunnels: struct net *net = dev_net(sitn->fb_tunnel_dev); Prior to this, rtnl_unlink_register has removed all devices that match rtnl_link_ops == sit_link_ops. Commit 205983c43700 added the line + sitn->fb_tunnel_dev->rtnl_link_ops = &sit_link_ops; which cases the fallback device to match here and be freed before it is last dereferenced. Fix: This commit adds an explicit .delllink callback to sit_link_ops that skips deallocation at rtnl_unlink_register for the fallback device. This mechanism is comparable to the one in ip_tunnel. It also modifies sit_destroy_tunnels and its only caller sit_exit_net to avoid the offending dereference in the first place. That double lookup is more complicated than required. Test: The bug is only triggered when CONFIG_NET_NS is enabled. It causes a GPF only when CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is enabled. Verified that this bug exists at the mentioned commit, at davem-net HEAD and at 3.11.y HEAD. Verified that it went away after applying this patch.
