Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
virtio_net: Fix UAF on dst_ops when IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is cleared and napi_tx is false<br />
<br />
A UAF issue occurs when the virtio_net driver is configured with napi_tx=N<br />
and the device&#39;s IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag is cleared<br />
(e.g., during the configuration of tc route filter rules).<br />
<br />
When IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is removed from the net_device, the network stack<br />
expects the driver to hold the reference to skb->dst until the packet<br />
is fully transmitted and freed. In virtio_net with napi_tx=N,<br />
skbs may remain in the virtio transmit ring for an extended period.<br />
<br />
If the network namespace is destroyed while these skbs are still pending,<br />
the corresponding dst_ops structure has freed. When a subsequent packet<br />
is transmitted, free_old_xmit() is triggered to clean up old skbs.<br />
It then calls dst_release() on the skb associated with the stale dst_entry.<br />
Since the dst_ops (referenced by the dst_entry) has already been freed,<br />
a UAF kernel paging request occurs.<br />
<br />
fix it by adds skb_dst_drop(skb) in start_xmit to explicitly release<br />
the dst reference before the skb is queued in virtio_net.<br />
<br />
