netfilter: Fix use-after-free in get_info()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: Fix use-after-free in get_info() ip6table_nat module unload has refcnt warning for UAF. call trace is: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 379 at kernel/module/main.c:853 module_put+0x6f/0x80 Modules linked in: ip6table_nat(-) CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 379 Comm: ip6tables Not tainted 6.12.0-rc4-00047-gc2ee9f594da8-dirty #205 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:module_put+0x6f/0x80 Call Trace: <TASK> get_info+0x128/0x180 do_ip6t_get_ctl+0x6a/0x430 nf_getsockopt+0x46/0x80 ipv6_getsockopt+0xb9/0x100 rawv6_getsockopt+0x42/0x190 do_sock_getsockopt+0xaa/0x180 __sys_getsockopt+0x70/0xc0 __x64_sys_getsockopt+0x20/0x30 do_syscall_64+0xa2/0x1a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Concurrent execution of module unload and get_info() trigered the warning. The root cause is as follows: cpu0 cpu1 module_exit //mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING ip6table_nat_exit xt_unregister_template kfree(t) //removed from templ_list getinfo() t = xt_find_table_lock list_for_each_entry(tmpl, &xt_templates[af]...) if (strcmp(tmpl->name, name)) continue; //table not found try_module_get list_for_each_entry(t, &xt_net->tables[af]...) return t; //not get refcnt module_put(t->me) //uaf unregister_pernet_subsys //remove table from xt_net list While xt_table module was going away and has been removed from xt_templates list, we couldnt get refcnt of xt_table->me. Check module in xt_net->tables list re-traversal to fix it.

No received packet or remote peer data reaches `xt_find_table_lock()`.\nAC:H - The buggy return is only reachable while the table\u0027s module is in `MODULE_STATE_GOING` and its template has already been unregistered \u2014 i.e. inside the window between `xt_unregister_template()` and `unregister_pernet_subsys()` in the module\u0027s exit path. The attacker can spin `getsockopt` to make the collision near-certain once teardown starts, but cannot initiate the unload, so a system state outside their control must coincide.\nPR:L - `do_ip6t_get_ctl()` gates only on `ns_capable(sock_net(sk)-\u003euser_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)`, which any unprivileged user obtains with `unshare -Urn`; the same call also drives `table_init()` to register the table in the attacker\u0027s own netns, so no real root is needed for the attacker-controlled half.\nUI:N - The attacker issues the socket option calls itself and no victim has to open a file, mount anything, or interact with attacker content; the module-unload precondition is accounted for under Attack Complexity.\nS:U - The unreferenced table, the freed slab object, and the corrupted module refcount all live inside the kernel\u0027s own security authority, with no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - After `xt_table_unlock()` drops the mutex the `xt_table` is `kfree()`d by the concurrent `xt_unregister_table()`, so `module_put(t-\u003eme)` reads a pointer out of freed slab memory; per use-after-free scoring, control of the reallocated object\u0027s contents makes that pointer attacker-influenced and yields a kernel-memory read primitive.\nI:H - `module_put()` performs `atomic_dec_if_positive()` through the stale `t-\u003eme`, a write into freed memory \u2014 either the vfree\u0027d `struct module` or, with heap spraying of the freed `xt_table`, an attacker-chosen address, giving a decrement primitive leverageable toward kernel memory corruption and premature unload of an in-use module.\nA:H - The reported symptom is a `WARN_ON` refcount-underflow splat in `module_put()`, which is a full panic on the many fleets running `panic_on_warn=1`, and dereferencing the freed table pointer readily oopses or trips KASAN."
