Subject: [PATCH net] ipvs: fix protocol data lifetime during namespace teardown
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 14:24:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927062435.3690129-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
IPVS frees its per-net protocol data before control cleanup cancels
defense work and unregisters the sysctl table. A defense worker can load
a protocol data pointer, then namespace cleanup can unlink and free that
object before the worker dereferences pd->pp or pd->next. The worker's
securetcp_lock does not serialize with protocol cleanup. A concurrent
defense-mode sysctl write can reach the same timeout update path.
KASAN reported:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ip_vs_protocol_timeout_change
Workqueue: events_long defense_work_handler
Call Trace:
ip_vs_protocol_timeout_change+0x1b4/0x1e0

defense_work_handler+0x1e/0xc0
Allocated by task 125:
ip_vs_protocol_net_init+0xda/0x2f0
__ip_vs_init+0x16b/0x240
setup_net+0xfc/0x310
Freed by task 12:
ip_vs_protocol_net_cleanup+0x1d6/0x2e0
__ip_vs_cleanup_batch+0x7d/0x100
cleanup_net+0x38c/0x770
Run control cleanup before protocol cleanup so that defense work and
active sysctl handlers have finished before their protocol data is freed.
Initialize protocols before exposing the control interface, and unwind
in reverse order, to enforce the same lifetime on initialization failure.
Protocol initialization and exit do not depend on control state.
Fixes: 9330419d9aa4 ("IPVS: netns, use ip_vs_proto_data as param.")
