Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: hold claim backbone gateways by reference
batadv_bla_add_claim() can replace claim->backbone_gw and drop the old
gateway's last reference while readers still follow the pointer.
The netlink claim dump path dereferences claim->backbone_gw->orig and
takes claim->backbone_gw->crc_lock without pinning the underlying
backbone gateway. batadv_bla_check_claim() still has the same naked
pointer access pattern.
Reuse batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw() in both readers so they operate
on a stable gateway reference until the read-side work is complete.
This keeps the dump and claim-check paths aligned with the lifetime
rules introduced for the other BLA claim readers.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's batman-adv component. The batadv_bla_add_claim() function can improperly drop a reference to a backbone gateway while other parts of the code, such as the netlink claim dump path, still hold and attempt to use a pointer to the freed memory. This creates a use-after-free vulnerability, which could allow a local attacker to cause system instability or a denial of service (DoS).
