Subject: [PATCH 6.1 36/55] netfilter: nft_ct: fix use-after-free in timeout object destroy
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:01:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413155726.185835282@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413155724.820472494@linuxfoundation.org>

6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tuan Do <tuan@calif.io>

commit f8dca15a1b190787bbd03285304b569631160eda upstream.

nft_ct_timeout_obj_destroy() frees the timeout object with kfree()
immediately after nf_ct_untimeout(), without waiting for an RCU grace
period. Concurrent packet processing on other CPUs may still hold
RCU-protected references to the timeout object obtained via
rcu_dereference() in nf_ct_timeout_data().

Add an rcu_head to struct nf_ct_timeout and use kfree_rcu() to defer
freeing until after an RCU grace period, matching the approach already
used in nfnetlink_cttimeout.c.

KASAN report:
