Subject: [PATCH net 03/12] netfilter: ipset: fix a potential dump-destroy race
Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 13:56:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260516115627.967773-4-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260516115627.967773-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@netfilter.org>
When dumping sets in order to create the proper order for restore,
the list type of sets dumped last. Therefore internally we run the
dumping loop twice: first with all non-list type of sets and skipping
the list type ones and then secondly for the list type of sets.
Sashiko noticed that there's a potential race between dump and destroy
if in the first loop the last set was a list type of set: its pointer
remains unreferenced and a concurrent destroy can free it.
Fix the issue by resetting the variable holding the pointer.
