Subject: 3.6rc6 use-after-free in destroy_conntrack()
Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:31:58 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120921153158.GA25012@redhat.com> (raw)
We just had a report of this happening during shutdown..
There's a blurry photograph of the full trace here.. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=615311
Rough transcription:
general protection fault
RIP: destroy_conntrack+0x88
RAX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b
trace:
? destroy_conntrack
? __nf_conntrack_find
nf_conntrack_destroy
? nf_regsiter_afinfo

Disassembly of the code line shows that the dereference is happening here
in destroy_conntrack ..
l4proto = __nf_ct_l4proto_find(nf_ct_l3num(ct), nf_ct_protonum(ct));
1403: 0f b6 b3 86 00 00 00 movzbl 0x86(%rbx),%esi
140a: 0f b7 7b 72 movzwl 0x72(%rbx),%edi
140e: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 1413 <destroy_conntrack+0x83>
-> if (l4proto && l4proto->destroy)
1413: 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax
1416: 74 0e je 1426 <destroy_conntrack+0x96>
1418: 48 8b 40 28 mov 0x28(%rax),%rax
'l4proto' seems to have been freed already, judging by the value in rax.
