Subject: [PATCH net] tipc: fix UAF in tipc_l2_send_msg()
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 13:59:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612135949.4010482-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)

Syzbot reported a slab-use-after-free in ipvlan_hard_header() when
called from tipc_l2_send_msg().

The root cause is that tipc_disable_l2_media() calls synchronize_net()
while b->media_ptr is still valid. This allows concurrent RCU readers
to obtain the device pointer after synchronize_net() has finished.
The pointer is cleared later in bearer_disable(), but without any
subsequent synchronization, allowing the device to be freed while
still in use by readers.

Fix this by clearing b->media_ptr in tipc_disable_l2_media() before
calling synchronize_net().

This is safe to do now because the call order in bearer_disable()
was reversed in 0d051bf93c06 ("tipc: make bearer packet filtering generic")
to call tipc_node_delete_links() (which needs the pointer) before
disable_media().

Fixes: 282b3a056225 ("tipc: send out RESET immediately when link goes down")
