CVE-2022-50004

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: policy: fix metadata dst->dev xmit null pointer dereference When we try to transmit an skb with metadata_dst attached (i.e. dst->dev == NULL) through xfrm interface we can hit a null pointer dereference[1] in xfrmi_xmit2() -> xfrm_lookup_with_ifid() due to the check for a loopback skb device when there's no policy which dereferences dst->dev unconditionally. Not having dst->dev can be interepreted as it not being a loopback device, so just add a check for a null dst_orig->dev. With this fix xfrm interface's Tx error counters go up as usual.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: xfrm: política: corregir la desreferencia de puntero nulo de metadatos dst-&gt;dev xmit Cuando intentamos transmitir un skb con metadata_dst adjunto (es decir, dst-&gt;dev == NULL) a través de la interfaz xfrm, podemos alcanzar una desreferencia de puntero nulo[1] en xfrmi_xmit2() -&gt; xfrm_lookup_with_ifid() debido a la comprobación de un dispositivo skb de bucle invertido cuando no hay ninguna política que desreferencia dst-&gt;dev incondicionalmente. No tener dst-&gt;dev puede interpretarse como que no es un dispositivo de bucle invertido, así que simplemente agregue una comprobación para un dst_orig-&gt;dev nulo. Con esta corrección, los contadores de errores de Tx de la interfaz xfrm suben como de costumbre.
