Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gtp: Suppress list corruption splat in gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl().
Brad Spengler reported the list_del() corruption splat in gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl(). [0]
Commit eb28fd76c0a0 ("gtp: Destroy device along with udp socket's netns dismantle.") added the for_each_netdev() loop in gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl() to destroy devices in each netns as done in geneve and ip tunnels.
However, this could trigger ->dellink() twice for the same device during ->exit_batch_rtnl().
Say we have two netns A & B and gtp device B that resides in netns B but whose UDP socket is in netns A.
-
cleanup_net() processes netns A and then B.
-
gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl() finds the device B while iterating netns A's gn->gtp_dev_list and calls ->dellink().
[ device B is not yet unlinked from netns B as unregister_netdevice_many() has not been called. ]
- gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl() finds the device B while iterating netns B's for_each_netdev() and calls ->dellink().
gtp_dellink() cleans up the device's hash table, unlinks the dev from gn->gtp_dev_list, and calls unregister_netdevice_queue().
Basically, calling gtp_dellink() multiple times is fine unless CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is enabled.
Let's remove for_each_netdev() in gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl() and delegate the destruction to default_device_exit_batch() as done in bareudp.
