This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: rswitch: Avoid use-after-free in rswitch_poll() 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: net-rswitch-avoid-use-after-free-in-rswitch_poll.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 33c47a3e7e22ff343e98fc57b8cad019a3be6729 Author: Radu Rendec <rrendec@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 2 17:08:37 2024 -0400 net: rswitch: Avoid use-after-free in rswitch_poll() [ Upstream commit 9a0c28efeec6383ef22e97437616b920e7320b67 ] The use-after-free is actually in rswitch_tx_free(), which is inlined in rswitch_poll(). Since `skb` and `gq->skbs[gq->dirty]` are in fact the same pointer, the skb is first freed using dev_kfree_skb_any(), then the value in skb->len is used to update the interface statistics. Let's move around the instructions to use skb->len before the skb is freed. This bug is trivial to reproduce using KFENCE. It will trigger a splat every few packets. A simple ARP request or ICMP echo request is enough.
