Subject: [PATCH net 07/15] ipvs: ftp: add seqadj extension before linking the expectation
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 02:14:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113011447.2357709-8-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113011447.2357709-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Theodor Arsenij Larionov Trichkine <theodorlarionov@gmail.com>

ip_vs_ftp_out() links an expectation into the helper extension of the
conntrack, then ip_vs_update_conntrack() adds the seqadj extension. If
the conntrack is still unconfirmed, which happens when the real server's
reply does not match an existing conntrack and creates a new one,
krealloc() can move ct->ext and the expectation list keeps pointing into
the freed area. Deleting the conntrack then writes to it:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nf_ct_unlink_expect_report+0x490/0x4c0
  Write of size 8 at addr ffff888004dd4e48 by task syz.2.17/649

Reachable with CAP_NET_ADMIN in a user namespace.

Add the seqadj extension before mangling, so it is in place before the
expectation is linked.

Fixes: b25adce16064 ("ipvs: correct usage/allocation of seqadj ext in ipvs")
