Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] net/bnxt: fix use-after-free in VNIC filter cleanup
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 20:20:00 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921022002.1033815-4-Mohammad-Shuab.Siddique@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921022002.1033815-1-Mohammad-Shuab.Siddique@broadcom.com>

From: Mohammad Shuab Siddique <mohammad-shuab.siddique@broadcom.com>

STAILQ_FOREACH()'s own advance step dereferences the current node's
next field after the loop body runs. The loop body here frees that
same node (bnxt_free_filter()) before the macro dereferences it on
the next iteration, so the filter list walk in
bnxt_clear_hwrm_vnic_filters() reads freed memory to find the
following entry.

Walk the list with STAILQ_FIRST()/STAILQ_REMOVE_HEAD() instead,
removing each filter from the list before freeing it so nothing is
dereferenced after being freed.

Fixes: 20ef524432dd ("net/bnxt: set L2 filters")
