CVE: CVE-2021-47299
Published: 2024-05-21
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xdp, net: Fix use-after-free in bpf_xdp_link_release

The problem occurs between dev_get_by_index() and dev_xdp_attach_link().
At this point, dev_xdp_uninstall() is called. Then xdp link will not be
detached automatically when dev is released. But link->dev already
points to dev, when xdp link is released, dev will still be accessed,
but dev has been released.

dev_get_by_index()        |
link->dev = dev           |
                          |      rtnl_lock()
                          |      unregister_netdevice_many()
                          |          dev_xdp_uninstall()
                          |      rtnl_unlock()
rtnl_lock();              |
dev_xdp_attach_link()     |
rtnl_unlock();            |
                          |      netdev_run_todo() // dev released
bpf_xdp_link_release()    |
    /* access dev.        |
       use-after-free */  |
