Subject: [PATCH 1/1] IPVS: Fix use-after-free issue in ip_vs_unbind_app()
Date: Mon,  8 Sep 2025 14:54:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250908065458.536-1-slavin452@gmail.com> (raw)

When exiting a network namespace, in cleanup_net()->ops_undo_list(),
ip_vs_ftp_ops->exit() is called before ip_vs_core_ops->exit_batch().
The ip_vs_app ip_vs_ftp and its incarnations will be freed by unregister_ip_vs_app().
However, there could still be connections bound to ip_vs_ftp's incarnation.
cp->app points to the free'd incarnation, which will be accessed later by
__ip_vs_cleanup_batch()->ip_vs_conn_net_cleanup()->ip_vs_conn_flush()->ip_vs_conn_del()->
ip_vs_conn_expire()->ip_vs_unbind_app(), causing a uaf. This vulnarability can
lead to a local privilege escalation.

Reproduction steps:
1. create a ipvs service on (127.0.0.1:21)
2. create a ipvs destination on the service, to (127.0.0.1:<any>)
3. send a tcp packet to (127.0.0.1:21)
4. exit the network namespace

I think the fix should flush all connection to ftp before unregistration.
The simpler fix is to delete ip_vs_ftp_ops->exit, and defer the unregistration
of ip_vs_ftp to ip_vs_app_net_cleanup(), which will unregister all ip_vs_app.
It's after ip_vs_conn_net_cleanup() so there is no uaf issue. This patch
seems to solve the issue but has't been fully tested yet, and is also not graceful.
