"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetlink: do not free nlk->groups while lockless readers can use it\n\nnetlink_realloc_groups() uses krealloc() under netlink_table_grab().\nWhenever NLGRPSZ(groups) lands in a different kmalloc bucket, the old\nbitmap is freed immediately.\n\nTwo readers of nlk->groups / nlk->ngroups do not hold the netlink\ntable lock:\n\n1) sk_diag_dump_groups(). Hashed (bound) sockets are dumped from the\n rhashtable walk in __netlink_diag_dump(), which only holds RCU.\n Only the mc_list part of the dump takes nl_table_lock.\n\n2) netlink_native_seq_show() (/proc/net/netlink), whose walk has been\n lockless since commit 21e4902aea80 (\"netlink: Lockless lookup with\n RCU grace period in socket release\").\n\nBoth can read a freed buffer, and sk_diag_dump_groups() can also read\npast the end of the old (smaller) buffer if it happens to load the old\n@groups pointer together with the new @ngroups value, copying the\nresult into a NETLINK_DIAG_GROUPS attribute.\n\nThis is the same class of bug that commit f773608026ee (\"netlink:\naccess nlk groups safely in netlink bind and getname\") fixed for bind()\nand getname(); these two readers were missed. Simply grabbing the table\nlock in sk_diag_dump_groups() is not an option, because it is also\ncalled with nl_table_lock already held from the mc_list section of the\ndump.\n\nMake the lockless readers safe instead:\n\n- Allocate a new bitmap and free the old one after an RCU grace period,\n instead of relying on the implicit kfree() done by krealloc().\n\n- Publish @groups before @ngroups, both with release semantics, and have\n the lockless readers load @ngroups first. A reader can then never pair\n the new (bigger) size with the old (smaller) buffer, and a reader\n picking up the new pointer while still seeing the old size is\n guaranteed to see the initialized bitmap.\n\nnetlink_realloc_groups() is called from process context (bind() and\nsetsockopt()), so kfree_rcu_mightsleep() can be used, once the table\nhas been released."
