CVE-2021-47572

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: nexthop: fix null pointer dereference when IPv6 is not enabled When we try to add an IPv6 nexthop and IPv6 is not enabled (!CONFIG_IPV6) we'll hit a NULL pointer dereference[1] in the error path of nh_create_ipv6() due to calling ipv6_stub->fib6_nh_release. The bug has been present since the beginning of IPv6 nexthop gateway support. Commit 1aefd3de7bc6 ("ipv6: Add fib6_nh_init and release to stubs") tells us that only fib6_nh_init has a dummy stub because fib6_nh_release should not be called if fib6_nh_init returns an error, but the commit below added a call to ipv6_stub->fib6_nh_release in its error path. To fix it return the dummy stub's -EAFNOSUPPORT error directly without calling ipv6_stub->fib6_nh_release in nh_create_ipv6()'s error path. [1] Output is a bit truncated, but it clearly shows the error.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: nexthop: corrige la desreferencia del puntero nulo cuando IPv6 no está habilitado Cuando intentamos agregar un nexthop IPv6 y IPv6 no está habilitado (!CONFIG_IPV6) alcanzaremos una desreferencia del puntero NULL [1] en la ruta de error de nh_create_ipv6() debido a la llamada a ipv6_stub-&gt;fib6_nh_release. El error ha estado presente desde el comienzo del soporte de la puerta de enlace IPv6 nexthop. El commit 1aefd3de7bc6 ("ipv6: Agregar fib6_nh_init y liberar a los stubs") nos dice que solo fib6_nh_init tiene un stub ficticio porque no se debe llamar a fib6_nh_release si fib6_nh_init devuelve un error, pero el commit a continuación agregó una llamada a ipv6_stub-&gt;fib6_nh_release en su error camino. Para solucionarlo, devuelva el error -EAFNOSUPPORT del código auxiliar ficticio directamente sin llamar a ipv6_stub-&gt;fib6_nh_release en la ruta de error de nh_create_ipv6(). [1] La salida está un poco truncada, pero muestra claramente el error.
