"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfilter: nf_log: unregister loggers before per-net teardown\n\nnf_log_syslog and nfnetlink_log unregister their per-network namespace\noperations before unregistering their global logger backends. This\nleaves a window where a sysctl or netlink writer can rebind the still-\nregistered logger after the per-net pre-exit callback cleared the old\nselection.\n\nThe race looks like this:\n\n CPU 0 CPU 1\n ---- ----\n unregister_pernet_subsys()\n nf_log_unset(net, logger)\n net->nf.nf_loggers[pf] = NULL\n\n lock nf_log_mutex\n find logger in loggers[][]\n net->nf.nf_loggers[pf] = logger\n unlock nf_log_mutex\n\n nf_log_unregister(logger)\n lock nf_log_mutex\n loggers[pf][type] = NULL\n unlock nf_log_mutex\n synchronize_rcu()\n module exit returns\n module core frees backend memory\n\nLater, a sysctl read or packet logging operation can dereference the\nstale per-net logger pointer.\n\nFix this by unregistering the global logger backends before tearing down\nper-net state. Once the global registrations are gone, later writers can\nno longer rebind the logger. unregister_pernet_subsys() already waits\nfor an RCU grace period after the pre-exit callback clears the per-net\nselection, while nf_log_unregister() continues to cover readers of the\nglobal logger table.\n\nApply this ordering fix to both nf_log backends that combine per-net\nteardown with global logger registration."

{

"value": "AV:L - Both sides of the race are local. One is module exit (nf_log_syslog_exit or nfnetlink_log_fini through delete_module). The other is a write to the net.netfilter.nf_log.<pf> sysctl, handled by nf_log_proc_dostring(), or an NFULNL_CFG_CMD_PF_BIND message over nfnetlink. No remote peer supplies anything that causes the stale nf_loggers[] pointer.\nAC:H - The attacker controls the rebind side, but the other side is a module unload that needs init-namespace CAP_SYS_MODULE. The attacker cannot make it happen. They must win the short window between nf_log_unset() in the per-net pre-exit and nf_log_unregister() while an admin unloads the module.\nPR:L - nf_log_proc_dostring() rebinds net->nf.nf_loggers[pf] from the per-netns sysctl, which is writable in a non-init netns. The nfnetlink PF_BIND path only checks netlink_net_capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN). So user namespaces (unshare -Urn) are enough for the attacker's side.\nUI:N - No victim action on attacker-supplied content is needed. The module unload is an admin action outside the attacker's control and is already counted under AC:H.\nS:U - The stale logger pointer is used inside the same kernel. Nothing crosses a VM, IOMMU or other security boundary.\nC:H - After the module is freed, a sysctl read dereferences logger->name, and nf_log_packet() calls logger->logfn through the dangling nf_loggers[pf] pointer. This is a use-after-free of freed module memory that can be leveraged to disclose kernel memory.\nI:H - nf_log_packet() makes an indirect call through logger->logfn in the freed module's memory. If that memory is reused, this gives control-flow hijacking and memory corruption.\nA:H - Logging a packet, or reading the sysctl, after the logger module is gone faults on the unmapped or reused module memory and oopses the kernel."
