This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: openvswitch: Fix Use-After-Free in ovs_ct_exit to the 6.8-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-openvswitch-fix-use-after-free-in-ovs_ct_exit.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 54e54aee23e3d9c8313cddc501595bce54598147 Author: Hyunwoo Kim <v4bel@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 22 05:37:17 2024 -0400 net: openvswitch: Fix Use-After-Free in ovs_ct_exit [ Upstream commit 5ea7b72d4fac2fdbc0425cd8f2ea33abe95235b2 ] Since kfree_rcu, which is called in the hlist_for_each_entry_rcu traversal of ovs_ct_limit_exit, is not part of the RCU read critical section, it is possible that the RCU grace period will pass during the traversal and the key will be free. To prevent this, it should be changed to hlist_for_each_entry_safe.
