This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: Fix a potential use-after-free in bpf_link_free() to the 6.9-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: bpf-fix-a-potential-use-after-free-in-bpf_link_free.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ddf3a5f5dd289024e4684f1950956ba3658622ca Author: Cong Wang <cong.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jun 2 11:27:03 2024 -0700 bpf: Fix a potential use-after-free in bpf_link_free() [ Upstream commit 2884dc7d08d98a89d8d65121524bb7533183a63a ] After commit 1a80dbcb2dba, bpf_link can be freed by link->ops->dealloc_deferred, but the code still tests and uses link->ops->dealloc afterward, which leads to a use-after-free as reported by syzbot. Actually, one of them should be sufficient, so just call one of them instead of both. Also add a WARN_ON() in case of any problematic implementation.
