Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net/sched: act_api: fix TOCTOU NULL deref on a->goto_chain<br />
<br />
tcf_action_exec() handles TC_ACT_GOTO_CHAIN by first checking<br />
rcu_access_pointer(a->goto_chain) and then calling<br />
tcf_action_goto_chain_exec(), which does a second, independent<br />
rcu_dereference_bh(a->goto_chain) read and immediately dereferences<br />
chain->filter_chain. A concurrent tcf_action_set_ctrlact() (e.g. the gact<br />
replace path) can clear a->goto_chain between the two reads, so the second<br />
read returns NULL and tcf_action_goto_chain_exec() dereferences NULL.<br />
<br />
Fix the race by doing a single rcu_dereference_bh() read of a->goto_chain<br />
in tcf_action_exec(), checking it once for NULL, and passing the resulting<br />
chain pointer into tcf_action_goto_chain_exec(). This turns the split<br />
check/use into a single check/use on one value.
