Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: fix use-after-free in tw_timer_handler A real world panic issue was found as follow in Linux 5.4. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffde49a863de28 PGD 7e6fe62067 P4D 7e6fe62067 PUD 7e6fe63067 PMD f51e064067 PTE 0 RIP: 0010:tw_timer_handler+0x20/0x40 Call Trace: <IRQ> call_timer_fn+0x2b/0x120 run_timer_softirq+0x1ef/0x450 __do_softirq+0x10d/0x2b8 irq_exit+0xc7/0xd0 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x68/0x120 apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20 This issue was also reported since 2017 in the thread [1], unfortunately, the issue was still can be reproduced after fixing DCCP. The ipv4_mib_exit_net is called before tcp_sk_exit_batch when a net namespace is destroyed since tcp_sk_ops is registered befrore ipv4_mib_ops, which means tcp_sk_ops is in the front of ipv4_mib_ops in the list of pernet_list. There will be a use-after-free on net->mib.net_statistics in tw_timer_handler after ipv4_mib_exit_net if there are some inflight time-wait timers. This bug is not introduced by commit f2bf415cfed7 ("mib: add net to NET_ADD_STATS_BH") since the net_statistics is a global variable instead of dynamic allocation and freeing. Actually, commit 61a7e26028b9 ("mib: put net statistics on struct net") introduces the bug since it put net statistics on struct net and free it when net namespace is destroyed. Moving init_ipv4_mibs() to the front of tcp_init() to fix this bug and replace pr_crit() with panic() since continuing is meaningless when init_ipv4_mibs() fails.

Habr\u00e1 un use-after-free en net-\u0026gt;mib.net_statistics en tw_timer_handler despu\u00e9s de ipv4_mib_exit_net si hay algunos temporizadores de espera a bordo. Este error no se introduce mediante la confirmaci\u00f3n f2bf415cfed7 (\"mib: add net to NET_ADD_STATS_BH\") ya que net_statistics es una variable global en lugar de una asignaci\u00f3n y liberaci\u00f3n din\u00e1micas. En realidad, la confirmaci\u00f3n 61a7e26028b9 (\"mib: poner estad\u00edsticas de red en struct net\") introduce el error ya que coloca estad\u00edsticas de red en struct net y las libera cuando se destruye el espacio de nombres de red. Mover init_ipv4_mibs() al frente de tcp_init() para corregir este error y reemplazar pr_crit() con p\u00e1nico() ya que continuar no tiene sentido cuando init_ipv4_mibs() falla.
