Title
net/sched: act_api: use RCU with deferred freeing for action lifecycle
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: act_api: use RCU with deferred freeing for action lifecycle When NEWTFILTER and DELFILTER are run concurrently it is possible to create a race with an associated action. Let's illustrate with CPU0 running NEWTFILTER and CPU1 running DELFILTER: 0: mutex_lock() <-- holds the idr lock 0: rcu_read_lock() 0: p = idr_find(idr, index) <-- action p is valid (RCU protects IDR) 0: mutex_unlock() <-- releases the idr lock 1: refcount_dec_and_mutex_lock() <-- refcnt 1->0, mutex held 1: idr_remove(idr, index) <-- Action removed from IDR 1: mutex_unlock() <-- mutex released allowing us to delete the action 1: tcf_action_cleanup(p); kfree(p) <-- Kfrees p immediately, no deferral 0: refcount_inc_not_zero(&p->tcfa_refcnt) <-- ouch, UAF p points to freed memory This patch fixes the race condition between NEWTFILTER and DELFILTER by adding struct rcu_head to tc_action used in the deferral and introducing a call_rcu() in the delete path to defer the final kfree(). Note: this is a revert of commit d7fb60b9cafb ("net_sched: get rid of tcfa_rcu") but also modernization/simplification to directly use kfree_rcu(). Let's illustrate the new restored code path: 0: rcu_read_lock() 1: refcount_dec_and_mutex_lock() <-- refcnt 1->0, mutex held 1: idr_remove(idr, index) 1: mutex_unlock() 1: call_rcu(&p->tcfa_rcu, tcf_action_rcu_free) <-- defer kfree after grace period 0: p = idr_find(idr, index) 0: refcount_inc_not_zero(&p->tcfa_refcnt) <-- fails, refcnt already 0 1: rcu_read_unlock() <-- release so freeing can run after grace period After CPU1 calls idr_remove(), the object is no longer reachable through the IDR. CPU0's subsequent idr_find() will return NULL, and even if it still held a stale pointer, the immediate kfree() is now deferred until after the RCU grace period, so no UAF can occur.

No external victim timing or rare environmental condition is required.\nPR:L - The operations require `CAP_NET_ADMIN` for non-GET rtnetlink messages, but traffic control is reachable with `CAP_NET_ADMIN` inside a user-created network namespace. Under the provided kernel guidance, this is Low privileges rather than High.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is needed; exploitation consists of the attacker sending crafted concurrent rtnetlink requests.\nS:U - The impact is within the kernel security authority and is a standard local kernel memory-corruption/privilege-escalation class issue. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or separate authorization scope boundary.\nC:H - The bug is a use-after-free of a `tc_action` object during action lookup/refcounting. A kernel heap UAF can be shaped into disclosure primitives, so confidentiality impact is High.\nI:H - The stale freed action pointer can be reused after heap reallocation and then modified/dereferenced through refcount, bind count, ops, and action lifecycle fields. This is memory corruption that can plausibly support arbitrary write or code execution, so integrity impact is High.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, the UAF can dereference or mutate freed/reused kernel memory and can crash or oops the kernel.

No external victim timing or rare environmental condition is required.\\nPR:L - The operations require `CAP_NET_ADMIN` for non-GET rtnetlink messages, but traffic control is reachable with `CAP_NET_ADMIN` inside a user-created network namespace. Under the provided kernel guidance, this is Low privileges rather than High.\\nUI:N - No victim interaction is needed; exploitation consists of the attacker sending crafted concurrent rtnetlink requests.\\nS:U - The impact is within the kernel security authority and is a standard local kernel memory-corruption/privilege-escalation class issue. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or separate authorization scope boundary.\\nC:H - The bug is a use-after-free of a `tc_action` object during action lookup/refcounting. A kernel heap UAF can be shaped into disclosure primitives, so confidentiality impact is High.\\nI:H - The stale freed action pointer can be reused after heap reallocation and then modified/dereferenced through refcount, bind count, ops, and action lifecycle fields. This is memory corruption that can plausibly support arbitrary write or code execution, so integrity impact is High.\\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, the UAF can dereference or mutate freed/reused kernel memory and can crash or oops the kernel.
