Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 2/2] netfilter: nf_queue: hold bridge skb->dev while queued
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 19:49:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529234942.1939638-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260529234942.1939638-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Haoze Xie <royenheart@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit e196115ec330a18de415bdb9f5071aa9f08e53ce ]

br_pass_frame_up() rewrites skb->dev from the ingress port to the bridge
master before queueing bridge LOCAL_IN packets. NFQUEUE only holds
references on state.in/out and bridge physdevs, so a queued bridge
packet can retain a freed bridge master in skb->dev until reinjection.

When the verdict is reinjected later, br_netif_receive_skb() re-enters
the receive path with skb->dev still pointing at the freed bridge master,
triggering a use-after-free.

Store skb->dev in the queue entry, hold a reference on it for the queue
lifetime, and use the saved device when dropping queued packets during
NETDEV_DOWN handling.
