Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ctnetlink: fix use-after-free in ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct()
ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct() stores a conntrack pointer in cb->data for the
netlink dump callback ctnetlink_exp_ct_dump_table(), but drops the
conntrack reference immediately after netlink_dump_start(). When the
dump spans multiple rounds, the second recvmsg() triggers the dump
callback which dereferences the now-freed conntrack via nfct_help(ct),
leading to a use-after-free on ct->ext.
The bug is that the netlink_dump_control has no .start or .done
callbacks to manage the conntrack reference across dump rounds. Other
dump functions in the same file (e.g. ctnetlink_get_conntrack) properly
use .start/.done callbacks for this purpose.
Fix this by adding .start and .done callbacks that hold and release the
conntrack reference for the duration of the dump, and move the
nfct_help() call after the cb->args[0] early-return check in the dump
callback to avoid dereferencing ct->ext unnecessarily.

Title: Linux, Description: En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:
netfilter: ctnetlink: corrige uso después de liberación en ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct()
ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct() almacena un puntero conntrack en cb -> data para la devolución de llamada de volcado netlink ctnetlink_exp_ct_dump_table(), pero libera la referencia conntrack inmediatamente después de netlink_dump_start(). Cuando el volcado abarca múltiples rondas, el segundo recvmsg() activa la devolución de llamada de volcado que desreferencia el conntrack ahora liberado a través de nfct_help(ct), lo que lleva a un uso después de liberación en ct -> ext.
El error es que netlink_dump_control no tiene devoluciones de llamada .start o .done para gestionar la referencia conntrack a través de las rondas de volcado. Otras funciones de volcado en el mismo archivo (p. ej., ctnetlink_get_conntrack) utilizan correctamente las devoluciones de llamada .start/.done para este propósito.
Solucione esto añadiendo devoluciones de llamada .start y .done que retienen y liberan la referencia conntrack durante la duración del volcado, y mueva la llamada a nfct_help() después de la comprobación de retorno anticipado cb -> args[0] en la devolución de llamada de volcado para evitar desreferenciar ct -> ext innecesariamente.
