Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
tipc: fix slab-use-after-free Read in tipc_aead_decrypt_done<br />
<br />
tipc_aead_decrypt() goes straight from tipc_bearer_hold(b) to<br />
crypto_aead_decrypt(req) without taking a reference on the netns, unlike<br />
the encrypt path. When crypto_aead_decrypt() is offloaded asynchronously<br />
(e.g. the SIMD aead wrapper queuing to cryptd), the cryptd worker runs<br />
tipc_aead_decrypt_done() later. If the bearer&#39;s netns is torn down in the<br />
meantime, cleanup_net() -> tipc_exit_net() -> tipc_crypto_stop() frees the<br />
per-netns tipc_crypto, and the completion then reads it:<br />
tipc_aead_decrypt_done() dereferences aead->crypto->stats and<br />
aead->crypto->net, and tipc_crypto_rcv_complete() dereferences<br />
aead->crypto->aead[] and the node table -- reading freed memory.<br />
<br />

This is the same class of bug that commit e279024617134 ("net/tipc: fix<br />
slab-use-after-free Read in tipc_aead_encrypt_done") fixed for the encrypt<br />
side. The encrypt path takes maybe_get_net(aead->crypto->net) before<br />
crypto_aead_encrypt() and drops it with put_net() on the synchronous<br />
return paths and in tipc_aead_encrypt_done(); the -EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY<br />
return keeps the reference for the async callback to release. The decrypt<br />
path was left without the equivalent guard.<br />
<br />
Mirror the encrypt-side fix on the decrypt path: take a net reference<br />
before crypto_aead_decrypt() (failing with -ENODEV and the matching<br />
bearer put if it cannot be acquired), keep it across the<br />
-EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY async return, and drop it with put_net() on the<br />
synchronous success/error return and at the end of<br />
tipc_aead_decrypt_done().<br />
<br />
Reproduced under KASAN on v7.1-rc7: a UDP bearer with a cluster key is<br />
flooded with crafted encrypted frames from an unknown peer (driving the<br />
cluster-key decrypt path) while the bearer&#39;s netns is repeatedly torn<br />
down. The completion must run asynchronously to outlive<br />
tipc_crypto_stop(); on x86 the stock aesni gcm(aes) now decrypts<br />
synchronously, so the async path was exercised via cryptd offload. The<br />
unguarded aead->crypto dereference in tipc_aead_decrypt_done() is the<br />
unpatched upstream path; tipc_aead_decrypt() still lacks<br />
maybe_get_net(aead->crypto->net), so the completion can outlive the free<br />
on any config where crypto_aead_decrypt() goes async.<br />
