From b3aa94bf5977395e788b457e3bb073c2b7f4580d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] netdevsim: fix use-after-free in __nsim_dev_port_del

debugfs files created under a port's ddir (ethtool/get_err,
ethtool/set_err, ring params, bpf_offloaded_id, udp_ports/inject_error,
etc.) store raw pointers directly into the netdevsim struct, which lives
in the net_device private data kmalloc slab.

In __nsim_dev_port_del(), nsim_destroy() was called before
nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit(), meaning free_netdev() freed the
netdevsim slab while debugfs files still held live pointers into it.
A concurrent reader with the file already open could pass
debugfs_file_get(), then dereference the freed pointer in
debugfs_u32_get(), triggering a slab-use-after-free.

Fix by calling nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit() first, so
debugfs_remove_recursive() tears down the entire port ddir subtree
(invalidating all stale data pointers) before free_netdev() releases
the backing memory.

A concurrent reader with the file already open could pass
debugfs_file_get(), then dereference the freed pointer in
debugfs_u32_get(), triggering a slab-use-after-free.

Fix by calling nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit() first, so
debugfs_remove_recursive() tears down the entire port ddir subtree
(invalidating all stale data pointers) before free_netdev() releases
the backing memory.

Subject: [PATCH] netdevsim: fix use-after-free in __nsim_dev_port_del
Author: hrushirajg23@gmail.com

#syz test: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

debugfs files created under a port's ddir (ethtool/get_err,
ethtool/set_err, ring params, bpf_offloaded_id, udp_ports/inject_error,
etc.) store raw pointers directly into the netdevsim struct, which lives
in the net_device private data kmalloc slab.

If these files outlive the netdevsim struct, a concurrent reader can
trigger a slab-use-after-free by passing debugfs_file_get() (which only
checks dentry lifetime) and then dereferencing the freed data pointer
in debugfs_u32_get().

In __nsim_dev_port_del(), nsim_destroy() is called before
nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit(). However, nsim_destroy() calls free_netdev()
at its end, while nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit() removes the port's
debugfs directory. This means the slab is freed before the debugfs
files are removed.

Fix by calling debugfs_remove_recursive(ns->nsim_dev_port->ddir) in
nsim_destroy() right before free_netdev(). This ensures all per-port
debugfs files are destroyed synchronously before the backing memory is
freed. The subsequent call to nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit() in
__nsim_dev_port_del() becomes a harmless no-op.

Subject: [PATCH v3] netdevsim: fix use-after-free of ethtool debugfs data
Author: hrushirajg23@gmail.com

From: Hrushiraj Gandhi <hrushirajg23@gmail.com>

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git main

debugfs files created by nsim_ethtool_init() store raw pointers
directly into the netdevsim struct, which lives in the net_device
private data kmalloc slab.

If the ethtool subdirectory outlives the netdevsim struct, a concurrent
reader can trigger a slab-use-after-free by passing debugfs_file_get()
(which only checks dentry lifetime) and then dereferencing the freed
data pointer in e.g. debugfs_u32_get().

In __nsim_dev_port_del(), nsim_destroy() is called before
nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit(). nsim_destroy() ends with free_netdev(),
while nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit() removes the port's debugfs directory
afterwards. This means the slab is freed before the ethtool debugfs
files that point into it are removed.

The same window exists on nsim_create()'s error path: nsim_ethtool_init()
creates debugfs files under ddir with pointers into ns before
nsim_init_netdevsim()/nsim_init_netdevsim_vf(), which can fail. The
err_free_netdev label then calls free_netdev() while those ethtool
debugfs entries are still live.

All other features that create per-port debugfs files (pp_hold,
queue_reset, vlan) already remove their own entries explicitly in
nsim_destroy() before free_netdev(). ethtool is the only one that does
not. Fix this by saving the ethtool dentry in struct nsim_ethtool and
calling debugfs_remove_recursive() on it before free_netdev() in both
nsim_destroy() and the nsim_create() error path. The port ddir teardown
is left to nsim_dev_port_debugfs_exit() as before.

v3:
- Instead of removing the entire port ddir before free_netdev(), save
  and remove only the ethtool dentry. All other features (pp_hold,
  queue_reset, vlan) already clean up after themselves; ethtool is the
  only exception. This aligns ethtool with how the other features
  behave, as suggested by Jakub Kicinski.
v2:
- Also fix the same use-after-free window on the error path of
  nsim_create() as suggested by Simon Horman.
- Shorten the code comment in nsim_destroy() to be more concise.
