Subject: [PATCH net 07/11] batman-adv: mcast: fix use-after-free in orig_node RCU release
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 13:54:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520115422.53552-8-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260520115422.53552-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
batadv_mcast_purge_orig() removes entries from RCU-protected hlists but
does not wait for an RCU grace period before returning. Concurrent RCU
readers may still accesses references to those entries at the point of
removal. RCU-protected readers trying to operate on entries like
orig->mcast_want_all_ipv6_node will then access already freed memory.
Fix this by moving batadv_mcast_purge_orig() to batadv_orig_node_release(),
just before the call_rcu() invocation. This ensures RCU readers that were
active at purge time have drained before the orig_node memory is reclaimed.
