In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clsact: Fix use-after-free in init/destroy rollback asymmetry
Fix a use-after-free in the clsact qdisc upon init/destroy rollback asymmetry.
The latter is achieved by first fully initializing a clsact instance, and
then in a second step having a replacement failure for the new clsact qdisc
instance. clsact_init() initializes ingress first and then takes care of the
egress part. This can fail midway, for example, via tcf_block_get_ext(). Upon
failure, the kernel will trigger the clsact_destroy() callback.
Commit 1cb6f0bae504 ("bpf: Fix too early release of tcx_entry") details the
way how the transition is happening. If tcf_block_get_ext on the q->ingress_block
ends up failing, we took the tcx_miniq_inc reference count on the ingress
side, but not yet on the egress side. clsact_destroy() tests whether the
{ingress,egress}_entry was non-NULL. However, even in midway failure on the
replacement, both are in fact non-NULL with a valid egress_entry from the
previous clsact instance.
What we really need to test for is whether the qdisc instance-specific ingress
or egress side previously got initialized. This adds a small helper for checking
the miniq initialization called mini_qdisc_pair_inited, and utilizes that upon
clsact_destroy() in order to fix the use-after-free scenario. Convert the
ingress_destroy() side as well so both are consistent to each other.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's clsact qdisc. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs due to an asymmetry in the initialization and destruction rollback process. When a replacement clsact qdisc instance fails during initialization, the destroy callback is triggered without properly de-initializing the ingress or egress sides, leading to the reuse of freed memory. This can result in system instability or a denial of service.
Отчет
The bug appears when clsact replacement fails partway through initialization and clsact_destroy runs with misleading non-NULL ingress/egress pointers. Traffic control changes that install clsact normally require privileges (CAP_NET_ADMIN). Denial of service or memory corruption from the UAF is the primary concern.
