Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: hold nfnl mutex in event notifier
We must serialize the release notifier and the config netlink function.
A concurrent thread can issue close() which can call the release function
while unrelated socket processes UNBIND request for same portid:
Oops: general protection fault, [..]
RIP: 0010:__instance_destroy+0x60/0x210 [nfnetlink_queue]
Call Trace:
nfqnl_recv_config+0x9b0/0xdc0 [nfnetlink_queue]
nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x7c2/0xeb0
? __pfx_nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x10/0x10
After this, parallel UNBIND and URELEASE events are impossible.
This change isn't nice, but its the shortest fix given instances
are not refcounted and the nfnetlink config callback drops the
rcu read lock early due to need for sleeping allocations.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem. A race condition exists between socket release event processing and configuration requests within the nfnetlink_queue component. A local user could exploit this vulnerability by executing concurrent socket operations, triggering a kernel crash that results in a denial of service (DoS).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity because exploitation requires local access and leads to a kernel crash causing a denial of service, without impacting confidentiality or data integrity. The flaw is triggered by a race condition during concurrent socket unbinding and release events in the nfnetlink_queue component. In standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments, netfilter queueing is not active by default unless custom packet filtering or userspace packet inspection software is configured.
