Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> net: ipv4: fix one memleak in __inet_del_ifa()<br /> <br /> I got the below warning when do fuzzing test:<br /> unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0 to become free. Usage count = 2<br /> <br /> It can be repoduced via:<br /> <br /> ip link add bond0 type bond<br /> sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.bond0.promote_secondaries=1<br /> ip addr add 4.117.174.103/0 scope 0x40 dev bond0<br /> ip addr add 192.168.100.111/255.255.255.254 scope 0 dev bond0<br /> ip addr add 0.0.0.4/0 scope 0x40 secondary dev bond0<br /> ip addr del 4.117.174.103/0 scope 0x40 dev bond0<br /> ip link delete bond0 type bond<br /> <br /> In this reproduction test case, an incorrect &amp;#39;last_prim&amp;#39; is found in<br /> __inet_del_ifa(), as a result, the secondary address(0.0.0.4/0 scope 0x40)<br /> is lost. The memory of the secondary address is leaked and the reference of<br /> in_device and net_device is leaked.<br /> <br /> Fix this problem:<br /> Look for &amp;#39;last_prim&amp;#39; starting at location of the deleted IP and inserting<br /> the promoted IP into the location of &amp;#39;last_prim&amp;#39;.
