Subject: 3.6rc6 use-after-free in destroy_conntrack()
Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:31:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120921153158.GA25012@redhat.com> (raw)

We just had a report of this happening during shutdown..

There's a blurry photograph of the full trace here.. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=615311

Rough transcription:

general protection fault
RIP: destroy_conntrack+0x88

RAX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b

trace:
 ? destroy_conntrack

 ? nf_regsiter_afinfo

Disassembly of the code line shows that the dereference is happening here
in destroy_conntrack ..


        l4proto = __nf_ct_l4proto_find(nf_ct_l3num(ct), nf_ct_protonum(ct));
    1403:       0f b6 b3 86 00 00 00    movzbl 0x86(%rbx),%esi
    140a:       0f b7 7b 72             movzwl 0x72(%rbx),%edi
    140e:       e8 00 00 00 00          callq  1413 <destroy_conntrack+0x83>
->       if (l4proto && l4proto->destroy)
    1413:       48 85 c0                test   %rax,%rax
    1416:       74 0e                   je     1426 <destroy_conntrack+0x96>
    1418:       48 8b 40 28             mov    0x28(%rax),%rax

'l4proto' seems to have been freed already, judging by the value in rax.
