Subject: netfilter 01/03: nf_nat: fix RCU races
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:03:53 +0200 (MEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080617140352.1355.52788.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080617140351.1355.59710.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain>
netfilter: nf_nat: fix RCU races
Fix three ct_extend/NAT extension related races:
- When cleaning up the extension area and removing it from the bysource hash,
the nat->ct pointer must not be set to NULL since it may still be used in
a RCU read side
- When replacing a NAT extension area in the bysource hash, the nat->ct
pointer must be assigned before performing the replacement
- When reallocating extension storage in ct_extend, the old memory must
not be freed immediately since it may still be used by a RCU read side
Possibly fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449315
and/or http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10875
