If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 84cd098be8591bc7df1f55a5a6e830a00258a7c3 Author: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Aug 10 15:59:20 2021 +0300 netfilter: nft_ct: protect nft_ct_pcpu_template_refcnt with mutex [ Upstream commit e3245a7b7b34bd2e97f744fd79463add6e9d41f4 ] Syzbot hit use-after-free in nf_tables_dump_sets. The problem was in missing lock protection for nft_ct_pcpu_template_refcnt. Before commit f102d66b335a ("netfilter: nf_tables: use dedicated mutex to guard transactions") all transactions were serialized by global mutex, but then global mutex was changed to local per netnamespace commit_mutex. This change causes use-after-free bug, when 2 netnamespaces concurently changing nft_ct_pcpu_template_refcnt without proper locking. Fix it by adding nft_ct_pcpu_mutex and protect all nft_ct_pcpu_template_refcnt changes with it.
