Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mm/vmalloc: do not trigger BUG() on BH disabled context<br />
<br />
__get_vm_area_node() currently triggers a BUG() if in_interrupt() returns<br />
true. However, in_interrupt() also reports true when BH are disabled.<br />
<br />
The bridge code can call rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast() with bottom<br />
halves disabled:<br />
<br />
__vlan_add()<br />
-> br_fdb_add_local()<br />
spin_lock_bh(&br->hash_lock); fdb_add_local()<br />
-> fdb_create()<br />
-> rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast()<br />
-> kvmalloc()<br />
-> vmalloc()<br />
-> __get_vm_area_node()<br />
-> BUG_ON(in_interrupt())<br />
spin_unlock_bh(&br->hash_lock)<br />
<br />
this triggers the BUG() despite the caller not being in NMI or<br />
hard IRQ context.<br />
<br />
Replace the in_interrupt() check with in_nmi() || in_hardirq().
