Subject: [PATCH net v2] vxlan: mdb: Fix use-after-free in vxlan_mdb_remote_src_del()
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 02:36:04 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826173604.90158-1-baul.lee@xbow.com> (raw)

vxlan_mdb_is_valid_source(), which validates MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE and every
MDBE_ATTR_SRC_LIST member, accepts the all-zeros address.

A source list is only accepted on a (*, G) entry, whose source is the
all-zeros address, and for each member of the list an (S, G) entry is
derived from it by substituting the source. Entries are keyed by a plain
memcmp() of struct vxlan_mdb_entry_key, so if MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE is present
and holds the all-zeros address and the source list holds it as well, the
derived (S, G) key is byte-identical to the (*, G) key and resolves to the
same entry. Omitting MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE is not equivalent, as the key is
then left with a zero address family.

vxlan_mdb_remote_src_del() removes the forwarding entry of a source before
freeing the source entry:

	vxlan_mdb_remote_src_fwd_del(vxlan, group, remote, &ent->addr);
	vxlan_mdb_remote_src_entry_del(ent);

With the keys aliased, the first call deletes the remote of the entry that
owns 'ent' instead of a separate (S, G) entry, and frees 'ent'. The second
call then runs on the freed entry, and its hlist_del() reads ->pprev and
->next out of it and writes through them.

Adding the (*, G) entry with NLM_F_REPLACE and no source list marks the
all-zeros source for deletion and reaches this from the sweep at the end
of vxlan_mdb_remote_srcs_replace().

   vxlan_mdb_remote_src_fwd_del.isra.0+0x162/0x1b0
   __vxlan_mdb_add+0x1c5/0xd70

The MDB operations are netns-scoped, so an unprivileged user can perform
them in a new user and network namespace.

Reject the all-zeros address in vxlan_mdb_is_valid_source(), which covers
both call sites. A (*, G) entry is expressed by omitting the source, so
nothing legitimate is refused.
