This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nf_tables: do not allow CHAIN_ID to refer to another table to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: netfilter-nf_tables-do-not-allow-chain_id-to-refer-to-another-table.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 95f466d22364a33d183509629d0879885b4f547e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2022 14:01:47 -0300 Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: do not allow CHAIN_ID to refer to another table From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 95f466d22364a33d183509629d0879885b4f547e upstream. When doing lookups for chains on the same batch by using its ID, a chain from a different table can be used. If a rule is added to a table but refers to a chain in a different table, it will be linked to the chain in table2, but would have expressions referring to objects in table1. Then, when table1 is removed, the rule will not be removed as its linked to a chain in table2. When expressions in the rule are processed or removed, that will lead to a use-after-free. When looking for chains by ID, use the table that was used for the lookup by name, and only return chains belonging to that same table.
