In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: Fix work re-schedule after cancel in xfrm_nat_keepalive_net_fini()
After cancel_delayed_work_sync() is called from
xfrm_nat_keepalive_net_fini(), xfrm_state_fini() flushes remaining
states via __xfrm_state_delete(), which calls
xfrm_nat_keepalive_state_updated() to re-schedule nat_keepalive_work.
The following is a simple race scenario:
cpu0 cpu1
cleanup_net() [Round 1]
ops_undo_list()
xfrm_net_exit()
xfrm_nat_keepalive_net_fini()
cancel_delayed_work_sync(nat_keepalive_work);
xfrm_state_fini()
xfrm_state_flush()
xfrm_state_delete(x)
__xfrm_state_delete(x)
xfrm_nat_keepalive_state_updated(x)
schedule_delayed_work(nat_keepalive_work);
rcu_barrier();
net_complete_free();
net_passive_dec(net);
llist_add(&net->defer_free_list, &defer_free_list);
cleanup_net() [Round 2]
rcu_barrier();
net_complete_free()
kmem_cache_free(net_cachep, net);
nat_keepalive_work()
// on freed net
To prevent this, cancel_delayed_work_sync() is replaced with
disable_delayed_work_sync(). |
