DescriptionCVE.org

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))
