CVE-2021-47371

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nexthop: Fix memory leaks in nexthop notification chain listeners syzkaller discovered memory leaks [1] that can be reduced to the following commands: # ip nexthop add id 1 blackhole # devlink dev reload pci/0000:06:00.0 As part of the reload flow, mlxsw will unregister its netdevs and then unregister from the nexthop notification chain. Before unregistering from the notification chain, mlxsw will receive delete notifications for nexthop objects using netdevs registered by mlxsw or their uppers. mlxsw will not receive notifications for nexthops using netdevs that are not dismantled as part of the reload flow. For example, the blackhole nexthop above that internally uses the loopback netdev as its nexthop device. One way to fix this problem is to have listeners flush their nexthop tables after unregistering from the notification chain. This is error-prone as evident by this patch and also not symmetric with the registration path where a listener receives a dump of all the existing nexthops. Therefore, fix this problem by replaying delete notifications for the listener being unregistered. This is symmetric to the registration path and also consistent with the netdev notification chain. The above means that unregister_nexthop_notifier(), like register_nexthop_notifier(), will have to take RTNL in order to iterate over the existing nexthops and that any callers of the function cannot hold RTNL. This is true for mlxsw and netdevsim, but not for the VXLAN driver. To avoid a deadlock, change the latter to unregister its nexthop listener without holding RTNL, making it symmetric to the registration path.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nexthop: corrige pérdidas de memoria en los oyentes de la cadena de notificaciones de nexthop syzkaller descubrió pérdidas de memoria [1] que se pueden reducir a los siguientes comandos: # ip nexthop add id 1 blackhole # devlink dev reload pci /0000:06:00.0 Como parte del flujo de recarga, mlxsw cancelará el registro de sus netdevs y luego cancelará el registro de la cadena de notificación de nexthop. Antes de cancelar el registro de la cadena de notificaciones, mlxsw recibirá notificaciones de eliminación de objetos de nexthop utilizando netdevs registrados por mlxsw o sus superiores. mlxsw no recibirá notificaciones de nexthops que utilicen netdevs que no estén desmantelados como parte del flujo de recarga. Por ejemplo, el blackhole nexthop anterior que utiliza internamente el loopback netdev como su dispositivo nexthop. Una forma de solucionar este problema es hacer que los oyentes vacíen sus tablas de nexthop después de darse de baja de la cadena de notificaciones. Esto es propenso a errores, como lo demuestra este parche, y tampoco es simétrico con la ruta de registro donde un oyente recibe un volcado de todos los nexthops existentes. Por lo tanto, solucione este problema reproduciendo las notificaciones de eliminación del oyente que se está cancelando el registro. Esto es simétrico a la ruta de registro y también consistente con la cadena de notificación de netdev. Lo anterior significa que unregister_nexthop_notifier(), al igual que Register_nexthop_notifier(), tendrá que tomar RTNL para poder iterar sobre los nexthops existentes y que cualquier persona que llame a la función no puede mantener RTNL. Esto es cierto para mlxsw y netdevsim, pero no para el controlador VXLAN. Para evitar un punto muerto, cambie este último para cancelar el registro de su oyente nexthop sin mantener presionado RTNL, haciéndolo simétrico a la ruta de registro.
