"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Fix too early release of tcx_entry\n\nPedro Pinto and later independently also Hyunwoo Kim and Wongi Lee reported\nan issue that the tcx_entry can be released too early leading to a use\nafter free (UAF) when an active old-style ingress or clsact qdisc with a\nshared tc block is later replaced by another ingress or clsact instance.\n\nEssentially, the sequence to trigger the UAF (one example) can be as follows:\n\n 1. A network namespace is created\n 2. An ingress qdisc is created. This allocates a tcx_entry, and\n &tcx_entry->miniq is stored in the qdisc's miniqp->p_miniq. At the\n same time, a tcf block with index 1 is created.\n 3. chain0 is attached to the tcf block. chain0 must be connected to\n the block linked to the ingress qdisc to later reach the function\n tcf_chain0_head_change_cb_del() which triggers the UAF.\n 4. Create and graft a clsact qdisc. This causes the ingress qdisc\n created in step 1 to be removed, thus freeing the previously linked\n tcx_entry:\n\n rtnetlink_rcv_msg()\n => tc_modify_qdisc()\n => qdisc_create()\n => clsact_init() [a]\n => qdisc_graft()\n => qdisc_destroy()\n => __qdisc_destroy()\n => ingress_destroy() [b]\n => tcx_entry_free()\n => kfree_rcu() // tcx_entry freed\n\n 5. Finally, the network namespace is closed. This registers the\n cleanup_net worker, and during the process of releasing the\n remaining clsact qdisc, it accesses the tcx_entry that was\n already freed in step 4, causing the UAF to occur:\n\n cleanup_net()\n => ops_exit_list()\n => default_device_exit_batch()\n => unregister_netdevice_many()\n => unregister_netdevice_many_notify()\n => dev_shutdown()\n => qdisc_put()\n => clsact_destroy() [c]\n => tcf_block_put_ext()\n => tcf_chain0_head_change_cb_del()\n => tcf_chain_head_change_item()\n => clsact_chain_head_change()\n => mini_qdisc_pair_swap() // UAF\n\nThere are also other variants, the gist is to add an ingress (or clsact)\nqdisc with a specific shared block, then to replace that qdisc, waiting\nfor the tcx_entry kfree_rcu() to be executed and subsequently accessing\nthe current active qdisc's miniq one way or another.\n\nThe correct fix is to turn the miniq_active boolean into a counter. What\ncan be observed, at step 2 above, the counter transitions from 0->1, at\nstep [a] from 1->2 (in order for the miniq object to remain active during\nthe replacement), then in [b] from 2->1 and finally [c] 1->0 with the\neventual release. The reference counter in general ranges from [0,2] and\nit does not need to be atomic since all access to the counter is protected\nby the rtnl mutex. With this in place, there is no longer a UAF happening\nand the tcx_entry is freed at the correct time."

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached through rtnetlink `RTM_NEWQDISC`/`RTM_NEWTFILTER` messages (`tc_modify_qdisc()` → `ingress_init`/`clsact_init`/`*_destroy`) and network-namespace teardown, all of which require local access via a netlink socket and syscalls. No remote packet can drive the qdisc configuration path.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically controls every step — create netns, create ingress qdisc with a shared block, attach chain0, graft a clsact qdisc to free the tcx_entry, then close the netns — with all mutations serialized under the rtnl mutex, so there is no race to win, only an RCU grace period to wait out. Heap grooming of the kmalloc-2048 slot is entirely under attacker control.\nPR:L - `rtnetlink_rcv_msg()` gates qdisc creation on `netlink_net_capable(skb, CAP_NET_ADMIN)` evaluated against the netns owner's user namespace, so an unprivileged local user obtains it with `unshare -Urn` — the published trigger sequence itself begins by creating a network namespace. No real root or init-namespace privilege is needed.\nUI:N - The entire sequence is performed by the attacker's own process; the final UAF fires from the `cleanup_net` worker triggered by the attacker closing its own network namespace. No victim action of any kind is involved.\nS:U - The corruption occurs in kernel heap memory and the impact stays within the same kernel security authority (local privilege escalation). No hypervisor, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free with an attacker-timed read of the freed `tcx_entry->miniq` slot, and the reclaimed ~1.6 KB kmalloc-2048 object can be sprayed with attacker-chosen structures, giving a path to disclose kernel heap pointers and read arbitrary kernel memory via a corrupted `mini_Qdisc`/`filter_list` chain.\nI:H - `mini_qdisc_pair_swap()` writes a kernel pointer (or NULL) into offset 0 of the freed object, corrupting whatever object was reallocated there, and the write can be repeated on demand by adding/removing filters on the shared block. Combined with the RX path's indirect call through `miniq->filter_list` in `tcf_classify()`, this yields a control-flow hijack primitive suitable for full privilege escalation.\nA:H - Even without successful exploitation, the use-after-free write into freed slab memory reliably corrupts unrelated kernel objects and panics the machine (KASAN-detected UAF, oops in `mini_qdisc_pair_swap`/`cleanup_net`). It can be triggered repeatedly by any unprivileged local user."
