[PATCH RESENT nf 1/1] netfilter: ctlink: Fix one possible use-after-free in ctnetlink_create_expect

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

 



From: Gao Feng <fgao@xxxxxxxxxx>

There is no rcu_read_lock during ctlink gets the helper and inserts the
expectation. So there is one possible use-after-free issue when unload
the helper module.

For example:

        CPU1                                CPU2
ctlink gets the helper
                            helper module unload and remove all expectations
insert the expectation

Now there is one expectation which references one helper whose module is
unloaded.
