Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip6mr: fix UAF issue in ip6mr_sk_done() when addrconf_init_net() failed
If the initialization fails in calling addrconf_init_net(), devconf_all is
the pointer that has been released. Then ip6mr_sk_done() is called to
release the net, accessing devconf->mc_forwarding directly causes invalid
pointer access.
The process is as follows:
setup_net()
ops_init()
addrconf_init_net()
all = kmemdup(...) ---> alloc "all"
...
net->ipv6.devconf_all = all;
__addrconf_sysctl_register() ---> failed
...
kfree(all); ---> ipv6.devconf_all invalid
...
ops_exit_list()
...
ip6mr_sk_done()
devconf = net->ipv6.devconf_all;
//devconf is invalid pointer
if (!devconf || !atomic_read(&devconf->mc_forwarding))
The following is the Call Trace information:

| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-416 | The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. |
