In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: tun: Update napi->skb after XDP process The syzbot report a UAF issue: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in skb_reset_mac_header include/linux/skbuff.h:3150 [inline] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in napi_frags_skb net/core/gro.c:723 [inline] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in napi_gro_frags+0x6e/0x1030 net/core/gro.c:758 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88802ef22c18 by task syz.0.17/6079 CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 6079 Comm: syz.0.17 Not tainted syzkaller #0 PREEMPT(full) Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x189/0x250 lib/dump_stack.c:120 print_address_description mm/kasan/report.c:378 [inline] print_report+0xca/0x240 mm/kasan/report.c:482 kasan_report+0x118/0x150 mm/kasan/report.c:595 skb_reset_mac_header include/linux/skbuff.h:3150 [inline] napi_frags_skb net/core/gro.c:723 [inline] napi_gro_frags+0x6e/0x1030 net/core/gro.c:758 tun_get_user+0x28cb/0x3e20 drivers/net/tun.c:1920 tun_chr_write_iter+0x113/0x200 drivers/net/tun.c:1996 new_sync_write fs/read_write.c:593 [inline] vfs_write+0x5c9/0xb30 fs/read_write.c:686 ksys_write+0x145/0x250 fs/read_write.c:738 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xfa/0x3b0 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f </TASK> Allocated by task 6079: kasan_save_stack mm/kasan/common.c:47 [inline] kasan_save_track+0x3e/0x80 mm/kasan/common.c:68 unpoison_slab_object mm/kasan/common.c:330 [inline] __kasan_mempool_unpoison_object+0xa0/0x170 mm/kasan/common.c:558 kasan_mempool_unpoison_object include/linux/kasan.h:388 [inline] napi_skb_cache_get+0x37b/0x6d0 net/core/skbuff.c:295 __alloc_skb+0x11e/0x2d0 net/core/skbuff.c:657 napi_alloc_skb+0x84/0x7d0 net/core/skbuff.c:811 napi_get_frags+0x69/0x140 net/core/gro.c:673 tun_napi_alloc_frags drivers/net/tun.c:1404 [inline] tun_get_user+0x77c/0x3e20 drivers/net/tun.c:1784 tun_chr_write_iter+0x113/0x200 drivers/net/tun.c:1996 new_sync_write fs/read_write.c:593 [inline] vfs_write+0x5c9/0xb30 fs/read_write.c:686 ksys_write+0x145/0x250 fs/read_write.c:738 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xfa/0x3b0 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Freed by task 6079: kasan_save_stack mm/kasan/common.c:47 [inline] kasan_save_track+0x3e/0x80 mm/kasan/common.c:68 kasan_save_free_info+0x46/0x50 mm/kasan/generic.c:576 poison_slab_object mm/kasan/common.c:243 [inline] __kasan_slab_free+0x5b/0x80 mm/kasan/common.c:275 kasan_slab_free include/linux/kasan.h:233 [inline] slab_free_hook mm/slub.c:2422 [inline] slab_free mm/slub.c:4695 [inline] kmem_cache_free+0x18f/0x400 mm/slub.c:4797 skb_pp_cow_data+0xdd8/0x13e0 net/core/skbuff.c:969 netif_skb_check_for_xdp net/core/dev.c:5390 [inline] netif_receive_generic_xdp net/core/dev.c:5431 [inline] do_xdp_generic+0x699/0x11a0 net/core/dev.c:5499 tun_get_user+0x2523/0x3e20 drivers/net/tun.c:1872 tun_chr_write_iter+0x113/0x200 drivers/net/tun.c:1996 new_sync_write fs/read_write.c:593 [inline] vfs_write+0x5c9/0xb30 fs/read_write.c:686 ksys_write+0x145/0x250 fs/read_write.c:738 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xfa/0x3b0 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f After commit e6d5dbdd20aa ("xdp: add multi-buff support for xdp running in generic mode"), the original skb may be freed in skb_pp_cow_data() when XDP program was attached, which was allocated in tun_napi_alloc_frags(). However, the napi->skb still point to the original skb, update it after XDP process.
