CVE-2024-50212

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: lib: alloc_tag_module_unload must wait for pending kfree_rcu calls Ben Greear reports following splat: ------------[ cut here ]------------ net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c:1114 module nf_nat func:nf_nat_register_fn has 256 allocated at module unload WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 10421 at lib/alloc_tag.c:168 alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0 Modules linked in: nf_nat(-) btrfs ufs qnx4 hfsplus hfs minix vfat msdos fat ...

Wait for outstanding kfree_rcu operations to complete before checking resolves this warning.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: lib: alloc_tag_module_unload debe esperar llamadas kfree_rcu pendientes Ben Greear informa del siguiente splat: ------------[ cortar aquí ]------------ net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c:1114 módulo nf_nat func:nf_nat_register_fn tiene 256 asignados en la descarga del módulo ADVERTENCIA: CPU: 1 PID: 10421 en lib/alloc_tag.c:168 alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0 Módulos vinculados en: nf_nat(-) btrfs ufs qnx4 hfsplus hfs minix vfat msdos fat ... Nombre del hardware: Cadena predeterminada Cadena predeterminada/SKYBAY, BIOS 5.12 08/04/2020 RIP: 0010:alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0 codetag_unload_module+0x19b/0x2a0 ? codetag_load_module+0x80/0x80 La salida del módulo nf_nat llama a kfree_rcu en esas direcciones, pero es probable que la operación de liberación aún esté pendiente en el momento en que alloc_tag verifique si hay fugas. Espere a que se completen las operaciones kfree_rcu pendientes antes de que la verificación resuelva esta advertencia. Reproductor: unshare -n iptables-nft -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp grep nf_nat /proc/allocinfo # enumerará 4 asignaciones rmmod nft_chain_nat rmmod nf_nat # emitirá una ADVERTENCIA.
