In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: Fix dev use-after-free in xfrm async resumption
xfrm async resumption hold skb->dev refcnt until after transport_finish.
However, xfrm_rcv_cb may modify skb->dev to tunnel dev without taking
device reference, such as vti_rcv_cb. The subsequent async resumption
will decrement the tunnel device's reference count, which lead to uaf
of tunnel dev and refcnt leak of orig dev as below:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for vti1 to become free. Usage count = -2
Stash the original skb->dev to fix refcnt imbalance. The new skb->dev set
by xfrm_rcv_cb can race with device teardown. Extend rcu protection over
xfrm_rcv_cb and transport_finish to prevent races.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xfrm (IP eXtensible FRamework for IPsec) subsystem. This vulnerability occurs during asynchronous resumption where the xfrm_rcv_cb function can modify a network device without properly managing its reference count. This improper handling leads to a use-after-free condition on the tunnel device and a reference count leak on the original device. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause system instability or a denial of service (DoS).
