Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/3] net/sched: cls_fw: fix NULL pointer dereference on shared blocks
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 23:55:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327065548.3191115-1-xmei5@asu.edu> (raw)
The old-method path in fw_classify() calls tcf_block_q() and
dereferences q->handle. Shared blocks leave block->q NULL, causing a
NULL deref when an empty cls_fw filter is attached to a shared block
and a packet with a nonzero major skb mark is classified.
Check tcf_block_shared() before accessing block->q and return -1 (no
match) for shared blocks, consistent with cls_u32's tc_u_common_ptr().
The fixed null-ptr-deref calling stack:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000038-0x000000000000003f]
RIP: 0010:fw_classify (net/sched/cls_fw.c:81)
Call Trace:
tcf_classify (./include/net/tc_wrapper.h:197 net/sched/cls_api.c:1764 net/sched/cls_api.c:1860)
tc_run (net/core/dev.c:4401)
