Title
macvlan: fix possible UAF in macvlan_forward_source()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: macvlan: fix possible UAF in macvlan_forward_source() Add RCU protection on (struct macvlan_source_entry)->vlan. Whenever macvlan_hash_del_source() is called, we must clear entry->vlan pointer before RCU grace period starts. This allows macvlan_forward_source() to skip over entries queued for freeing. Note that macvlan_dev are already RCU protected, as they are embedded in a standard netdev (netdev_priv(ndev)). https: //lore.kernel.org/netdev/695fb1e8.050a0220.1c677c.039f.GAE@google.com/T/#u

It does not require real init-namespace root.\nUI:N - No victim action is required once the local attacker runs the netlink operations and injects matching frames. Exploitation is driven entirely by attacker-controlled local processes.\nS:U - The vulnerability corrupts or dereferences memory within the same kernel security authority. It is a standard kernel memory-safety issue, not a VM escape or cross-scope boundary violation.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free involving a freed macvlan/net_device-private object, and reclaimed heap contents can be exposed or used as attacker-shaped kernel pointers. Per kernel CVSS guidance, UAFs are scored as high confidentiality impact.\nI:H - The freed object is later used as a live macvlan_dev and passed into forwarding/statistics paths, giving plausible control-flow or write-primitive opportunities after heap reclaim. Per kernel CVSS guidance, UAF memory corruption is high integrity impact.\nA:H - Syzbot observed a KASAN slab-use-after-free in macvlan_forward_source(), and the bug can crash or panic the kernel.

Received frames reach the buggy RX handler, but creating the vulnerable stale source entry is a local operation.\nAC:L - The attacker can create the macvlan/source-entry state and trigger packet delivery repeatedly; the demonstrated stale-entry case is deterministic, and source-entry deletion races are attacker-controllable with concurrent netlink and packet activity.\nPR:L - The setup path requires CAP_NET_ADMIN for RTM_NEWLINK/RTM_SETLINK/RTM_DELLINK, but this is reachable by an unprivileged local user in a user-created user/net namespace on systems allowing user namespaces. It does not require real init-namespace root.\nUI:N - No victim action is required once the local attacker runs the netlink operations and injects matching frames. Exploitation is driven entirely by attacker-controlled local processes.\nS:U - The vulnerability corrupts or dereferences memory within the same kernel security authority. It is a standard kernel memory-safety issue, not a VM escape or cross-scope boundary violation.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free involving a freed macvlan/net_device-private object, and reclaimed heap contents can be exposed or used as attacker-shaped kernel pointers. Per kernel CVSS guidance, UAFs are scored as high confidentiality impact.\nI:H - The freed object is later used as a live macvlan_dev and passed into forwarding/statistics paths, giving plausible control-flow or write-primitive opportunities after heap reclaim. Per kernel CVSS guidance, UAF memory corruption is high integrity impact.\nA:H - Syzbot observed a KASAN slab-use-after-free in macvlan_forward_source(), and the bug can crash or panic the kernel. A kernel UAF reachable on demand is high availability impact."
