This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/sched: cls_u32: Fix reference counter leak leading to overflow 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: net-sched-cls_u32-fix-reference-counter-leak-leading.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. commit f680c4da0e201d2e00e0e945ed112273193bd6f2 Author: Lee Jones <lee@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jun 8 08:29:03 2023 +0100 net/sched: cls_u32: Fix reference counter leak leading to overflow [ Upstream commit 04c55383fa5689357bcdd2c8036725a55ed632bc ] In the event of a failure in tcf_change_indev(), u32_set_parms() will immediately return without decrementing the recently incremented reference counter. If this happens enough times, the counter will rollover and the reference freed, leading to a double free which can be used to do 'bad things'. In order to prevent this, move the point of possible failure above the point where the reference counter is incremented. Also save any meaningful return values to be applied to the return data at the appropriate point in time. This issue was caught with KASAN.
