Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mpls: add seqcount to protect the platform_label{,s} pair<br />
<br />
The RCU-protected codepaths (mpls_forward, mpls_dump_routes) can have<br />
an inconsistent view of platform_labels vs platform_label in case of a<br />
concurrent resize (resize_platform_label_table, under<br />
platform_mutex). This can lead to OOB accesses.<br />
<br />
This patch adds a seqcount, so that we get a consistent snapshot.<br />
<br />
Note that mpls_label_ok is also susceptible to this, so the check<br />
against RTA_DST in rtm_to_route_config, done outside platform_mutex,<br />
is not sufficient. This value gets passed to mpls_label_ok once more<br />
in both mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del, so there is no issue, but<br />
that additional check must not be removed.
