Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] ipv6: raw: fix use-after-free in rawv6_send_hdrinc()
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 20:37:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261115013731.709166-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109202548-failed-5.10-66dfb2cacda7@kernel.org>
From: Zhou Qiuyue <n0ps1edzz@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 66dfb2cacda7faae614d688943d85e75abf7f586 ]
rawv6_send_hdrinc() caches the route before handing the skb to
l3mdev_ip6_out(). The VRF output path may replace skb->dst and release
the original route, leaving the cached pointer stale.
The function later dereferences that pointer for statistics accounting
and as the output device passed to NF_HOOK(). Its RCU read-side critical
section starts after l3mdev_ip6_out(), so it cannot prevent the old route
from being reclaimed in between.
Reload the route from the current skb destination after
l3mdev_ip6_out() returns.
KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in rawv6_sendmsg(), with the route
allocated by ip6_dst_alloc(), freed by dst_destroy() from rcu_core(), and
the related RCU callback queued from vrf_l3_out().
Fixes: 4c1feac58e06 ("net: vrf: Flip IPv6 output path from FIB lookup hook to out hook")
