CVE-2024-42109

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: unconditionally flush pending work before notifier syzbot reports: KASAN: slab-uaf in nft_ctx_update include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1831 KASAN: slab-uaf in nft_commit_release net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9530 KASAN: slab-uaf int nf_tables_trans_destroy_work+0x152b/0x1750 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9597 Read of size 2 at addr ffff88802b0051c4 by task kworker/1:1/45 [..] Workqueue: events nf_tables_trans_destroy_work Call Trace: nft_ctx_update include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1831 [inline] nft_commit_release net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9530 [inline] nf_tables_trans_destroy_work+0x152b/0x1750 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9597 Problem is that the notifier does a conditional flush, but its possible that the table-to-be-removed is still referenced by transactions being processed by the worker, so we need to flush unconditionally. We could make the flush_work depend on whether we found a table to delete in nf-next to avoid the flush for most cases. AFAICS this problem is only exposed in nf-next, with commit e169285f8c56 ("netfilter: nf_tables: do not store nft_ctx in transaction objects"), with this commit applied there is an unconditional fetch of table->family which is whats triggering the above splat.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: netfilter: nf_tables: vaciar incondicionalmente el trabajo pendiente antes de que el notificador syzbot informe: KASAN: slab-uaf en nft_ctx_update include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1831 KASAN: slab-uaf en nft_commit_release net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9530 KASAN: slab-uaf int nf_tables_trans_destroy_work+0x152b/0x1750 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9597 Lectura de tamaño 2 en la dirección ffff88802b0051c4 por tarea kworker/1:1/45 [..] ue : eventos nf_tables_trans_destroy_work Seguimiento de llamadas: nft_ctx_update include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1831 [en línea] nft_commit_release net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9530 [en línea] nf_tables_trans_destroy_work+0x152b/0x1750 s_api.c:9597 El problema es que el notificador realiza un vaciado condicional, pero es posible que las transacciones que procesa el trabajador aún hagan referencia a la tabla que se va a eliminar, por lo que debemos realizar un vaciado incondicional. Podríamos hacer que flux_work dependa de si encontramos una tabla para eliminar en nf-next para evitar el vaciado en la mayoría de los casos. AFAICS, este problema solo se expone en nf-next, con la confirmación e169285f8c56 ("netfilter: nf_tables: no almacenar nft_ctx en objetos de transacción"), con esta confirmación aplicada hay una búsqueda incondicional de tabla->familia que es lo que desencadena lo anterior salpicar.
