From bf64ff4c2aac65d680dc639a511c781cf6b6ec08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cong Wang Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2020 00:12:24 -0700 Subject: genetlink: get rid of family->attrbuf genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() reuses the global family->attrbuf when family->parallel_ops is false. However, family->attrbuf is not protected by any lock on the genl_family_rcv_msg_doit() code path. This leads to several different consequences, one of them is UAF, like the following: genl_family_rcv_msg_doit(): genl_start(): genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() attrbuf = family->attrbuf __nlmsg_parse(attrbuf); genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() attrbuf = family->attrbuf __nlmsg_parse(attrbuf); info->attrs = attrs; cb->data = info; netlink_unicast_kernel(): consume_skb() genl_lock_dumpit(): genl_dumpit_info(cb)->attrs Note family->attrbuf is an array of pointers to the skb data, once the skb is freed, any dereference of family->attrbuf will be a UAF. Maybe we could serialize the family->attrbuf with genl_mutex too, but that would make the locking more complicated. Instead, we can just get rid of family->attrbuf and always allocate attrbuf from heap like the family->parallel_ops==true code path. This may add some performance overhead but comparing with taking the global genl_mutex, it still looks better.
