[PATCH] net: Fix UAF in ieee80211_scan_rx()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ieee80211_scan_rx() tries to access scan_req->flags after a null check
(see line 303 of mac80211/scan.c), but ___cfg80211_scan_done() uses
kfree() on the scan_req (see line 991 of wireless/scan.c).

This results in a UAF.

ieee80211_scan_rx() is called inside a RCU read-critical section
initiated by ieee80211_rx_napi() (see line 5043 of mac80211/rx.c).

Thus, add an rcu_head to the scan_req struct so as to use kfree_rcu()
instead of kfree() so that we don't free during the critical section.
