Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix kernel panic when enabling bearer
When enabling a bearer on a node, a kernel panic is observed:
[ 4.498085] RIP: 0010:tipc_mon_prep+0x4e/0x130 [tipc]
...
[ 4.520030] Call Trace:
[ 4.520689]
The node in question is receiving activate messages in another thread after changing bearer status to allow message sending/ receiving in current thread:
thread 1 | thread 2
-------- | --------
|
tipc_enable_bearer() | test_and_set_bit_lock() | tipc_bearer_xmit_skb() | | tipc_l2_rcv_msg() | tipc_rcv() | __tipc_node_link_up() | tipc_link_build_state_msg() | tipc_link_build_proto_msg() | tipc_mon_prep() | { | ... | // null-pointer dereference | u16 gen = mon->dom_gen; | ... | } // Not being executed yet | tipc_mon_create() | { | ... | // allocate | mon = kzalloc(); | ... | } |
Monitoring pointer in thread 2 is dereferenced before monitoring data is allocated in thread 1. This causes kernel panic.
This commit fixes it by allocating the monitoring data before enabling the bearer to receive messages.
