In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Use RCU-safe iteration in dev_map_redirect_multi() SKB path
The DEVMAP_HASH branch in dev_map_redirect_multi() uses
hlist_for_each_entry_safe() to iterate hash buckets, but this function
runs under RCU protection (called from xdp_do_generic_redirect_map()
in softirq context). Concurrent writers (__dev_map_hash_update_elem,
dev_map_hash_delete_elem) modify the list using RCU primitives
(hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_rcu).
hlist_for_each_entry_safe() performs plain pointer dereferences without
rcu_dereference(), missing the acquire barrier needed to pair with
writers' rcu_assign_pointer(). On weakly-ordered architectures (ARM64,
POWER), a reader can observe a partially-constructed node. It also
defeats CONFIG_PROVE_RCU lockdep validation and KCSAN data-race
detection.
Replace with hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() using rcu_read_lock_bh_held()
as the lockdep condition, consistent with the rcu_dereference_check()
used in the DEVMAP (non-hash) branch of the same functions. Also fix
the same incorrect lockdep_is_held(&dtab->index_lock) condition in
dev_map_enqueue_multi(), where the lock is not held either.
