In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netem: fix return value if duplicate enqueue fails
There is a bug in netem_enqueue() introduced by commit 5845f706388a ("net: netem: fix skb length BUG_ON in __skb_to_sgvec") that can lead to a use-after-free.
This commit made netem_enqueue() always return NET_XMIT_SUCCESS when a packet is duplicated, which can cause the parent qdisc's q.qlen to be mistakenly incremented. When this happens qlen_notify() may be skipped on the parent during destruction, leaving a dangling pointer for some classful qdiscs like DRR.
There are two ways for the bug happen:
- If the duplicated packet is dropped by rootq->enqueue() and then the original packet is also dropped.
- If rootq->enqueue() sends the duplicated packet to a different qdisc and the original packet is dropped.
In both cases NET_XMIT_SUCCESS is returned even though no packets are enqueued at the netem qdisc.
The fix is to defer the enqueue of the duplicate packe
