CVE-2024-50257 DetailDescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: Fix use-after-free in get_info() ip6table_nat module unload has refcnt warning for UAF. call trace is: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 379 at kernel/module/main.c:853 module_put+0x6f/0x80 Modules linked in: ip6table_nat(-) CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 379 Comm: ip6tables Not tainted 6.12.0-rc4-00047-gc2ee9f594da8-dirty #205 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:module_put+0x6f/0x80 Call Trace: <TASK> get_info+0x128/0x180 do_ip6t_get_ctl+0x6a/0x430 nf_getsockopt+0x46/0x80 ipv6_getsockopt+0xb9/0x100 rawv6_getsockopt+0x42/0x190 do_sock_getsockopt+0xaa/0x180 __sys_getsockopt+0x70/0xc0 __x64_sys_getsockopt+0x20/0x30 do_syscall_64+0xa2/0x1a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Concurrent execution of module unload and get_info() trigered the warning. The root cause is as follows: cpu0 cpu1 module_exit //mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING ip6table_nat_exit xt_unregister_template kfree(t) //removed from templ_list getinfo() t = xt_find_table_lock list_for_each_entry(tmpl, &xt_templates[af]...) if (strcmp(tmpl->name, name)) continue; //table not found try_module_get list_for_each_entry(t, &xt_net->tables[af]...) return t; //not get refcnt module_put(t->me) //uaf unregister_pernet_subsys //remove table from xt_net list While xt_table module was going away and has been removed from xt_templates list, we couldnt get refcnt of xt_table->me. Check module in xt_net->tables list re-traversal to fix it. Metrics
