Описание
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.
Addition and removal of rules from chain bindings within the same transaction causes leads to use-after-free.
We recommend upgrading past commit f15f29fd4779be8a418b66e9d52979bb6d6c2325.
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in the netfilter component in the Linux Kernel. This flaw can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. Adding and removing rules from chain bindings within the same transaction leads to a use-after-free issue.
Отчет
Exploiting this flaw will require CAP_NET_ADMIN access privilege in any user or network namespace. Also, on non-containerized deployments of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you can disable user namespaces by setting the user.max_user_namespaces to 0:
echo "user.max_user_namespaces=0" > /etc/sysctl.d/userns.conf
sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/userns.conf
On containerized deployments, such as Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, do not use this mitigation as the functionality needs to be enabled.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is to skip loading the affected module "netfilter" onto the system until we have a fix available. This can be done by a blacklist mechanism and will ensure the driver is not loaded at the boot time.
