This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/sched: cls_u32: No longer copy tcf_result on update to avoid use-after-free to the 6.1-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-no-longer-copy-tcf_result-on-updat.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9494711f6d53ad3a81e8de7baac03126a80beec8 Author: valis <sec@valis.email> Date: Sat Jul 29 08:32:00 2023 -0400 net/sched: cls_u32: No longer copy tcf_result on update to avoid use-after-free [ Upstream commit 3044b16e7c6fe5d24b1cdbcf1bd0a9d92d1ebd81 ] When u32_change() is called on an existing filter, the whole tcf_result struct is always copied into the new instance of the filter. This causes a problem when updating a filter bound to a class, as tcf_unbind_filter() is always called on the old instance in the success path, decreasing filter_cnt of the still referenced class and allowing it to be deleted, leading to a use-after-free. Fix this by no longer copying the tcf_result struct from the old filter.
