CVE-2024-42108

  3. CVE-2024-42108
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: rswitch: Avoid use-after-free in rswitch_poll() 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.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: rswitch: Evite el use after free en rswitch_poll() El use after free está en realidad en rswitch_tx_free(), que está incluido en rswitch_poll(). Dado que `skb` y `gq->skbs[gq->dirty]` son de hecho el mismo puntero, el skb primero se libera usando dev_kfree_skb_any(), luego el valor en skb->len se usa para actualizar las estadísticas de la interfaz. Avancemos por las instrucciones para usar skb->len antes de liberar el skb. Este error es trivial de reproducir usando KFENCE. Activará un sonido cada pocos paquetes. Una simple solicitud ARP o una solicitud de eco ICMP es suficiente.
