Subject: [PATCH] net: microchip: vcap: stop scanning after deleting key field
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 23:39:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925063937.963430-1-harshit.m.mogalapalli@oracle.com> (raw)
The only call outside the KUnit tests is in
sparx5_tc_add_rule_copy(), which passes a fixed key list with no
duplicate entries. Therefore, the potential double-free is not
currently reachable in tree.
However, vcap_filter_rule_keys() is exported and does not require its
key list entries to be unique. If a future or external caller supplies
the same key at another position that the inner loop visits, it calls
list_del() and kfree() a second time on the freed field, leading to a
potential double-free.
Break the inner loop after removing a matching field. The outer safe
list traversal continues to process the remaining rule fields.
Fixes: 465a38a269e9 ("net: microchip: sparx5: Support for copying and modifying rules in the API")
Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/ahs-lCAXXikkaHky@stanley.mountain/
