Subject: [PATCH 08/12] xfrm: use hlist_del_init_rcu for state_cache and state_cache_input
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 11:29:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907093020.2228346-9-steffen.klassert@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907093020.2228346-1-steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
From: Siwei Zhang <fourdizhang@tencent.com>
Commit 14acf9652e56 ("xfrm: defensively unhash xfrm_state lists in
__xfrm_state_delete") converted bydst/bysrc/byseq/byspi from
hlist_del_rcu() to hlist_del_init_rcu() so that a second
__xfrm_state_delete() on the same object becomes a no-op rather than a
write through LIST_POISON pprev. It missed state_cache and
state_cache_input, which kept hlist_del_rcu():
- hlist_del_rcu() leaves pprev = LIST_POISON2 (non-NULL), so
hlist_unhashed() returns false.
- hlist_del_init_rcu() leaves pprev = NULL, so hlist_unhashed()
returns true.
A second __xfrm_state_delete() therefore enters __hlist_del() on the
already-deleted state_cache/state_cache_input nodes and does
WRITE_ONCE(*pprev, next) through LIST_POISON2 — a write use-after-free
once the slab is reused. The corruption can in turn cause a subsequent
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu traversal to follow a dangling next pointer,
producing the read use-after-free reported in xfrm_input_state_lookup().
Switch state_cache and state_cache_input to hlist_del_init_rcu() to
match the other four lists, closing the write use-after-free and, with
it, the read use-after-free it spawns.

Fixes: 81a331a0e72d ("xfrm: Add an inbound percpu state cache.")
