Title
geneve: Fix use-after-free in geneve_find_dev().
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: geneve: Fix use-after-free in geneve_find_dev(). syzkaller reported a use-after-free in geneve_find_dev() [0] without repro. geneve_configure() links struct geneve_dev.next to net_generic(net, geneve_net_id)->geneve_list. The net here could differ from dev_net(dev) if IFLA_NET_NS_PID, IFLA_NET_NS_FD, or IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID is set. When dev_net(dev) is dismantled, geneve_exit_batch_rtnl() finally calls unregister_netdevice_queue() for each dev in the netns, and later the dev is freed. However, its geneve_dev.next is still linked to the backend UDP socket netns. Then, use-after-free will occur when another geneve dev is created in the netns. Let's call geneve_dellink() instead in geneve_destroy_tunnels().

The geneve_list is used solely by the control plane (geneve_configure/geneve_dellink), never by the packet receive path, so no remote packet can trigger it.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically creates both network namespaces, creates the geneve device cross-netns, destroys the device-owning netns, then creates a second geneve device to dereference the stale list entry \u2014 no race must be won and the dangling pointer persists indefinitely, allowing unhurried heap grooming of the freed 4096-byte slab object.\nPR:L - CAP_NET_ADMIN is required in the owning user namespaces of both netns, but an unprivileged user obtains exactly that with `unshare -Urn` plus a nested `unshare -n`, since both namespaces are owned by their own user_ns and the checks are ns_capable-based. The geneve module is autoloaded on demand from the same unprivileged rtnl_newlink path.\nUI:N - The full sequence is performed by the attacker\u0027s own processes via netlink and namespace file descriptors, with no action by any other user.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap state and is exploited for kernel privilege escalation within the same security authority; no hypervisor, IOMMU, or other authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The stale list entry points into a freed kmalloc-cg-4k object the attacker can reallocate and fill, so the list traversal in geneve_find_dev() follows an attacker-controlled `next` pointer and reads arbitrary kernel addresses, with the -EBUSY/-EPERM/success result acting as a disclosure oracle.\nI:H - Later list_del()/list_add() operations on the corrupted geneve_list write through attacker-controlled prev/next pointers, yielding a classic unlink write-what-where primitive suitable for control-flow hijacking and privilege escalation.\nA:H - The bug is a confirmed slab use-after-free (KASAN slab-use-after-free reported by syzkaller) that reliably corrupts a kernel linked list, causing oops or panic even without successful exploitation."

The geneve_list is used solely by the control plane (geneve_configure/geneve_dellink), never by the packet receive path, so no remote packet can trigger it.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically creates both network namespaces, creates the geneve device cross-netns, destroys the device-owning netns, then creates a second geneve device to dereference the stale list entry \u2014 no race must be won and the dangling pointer persists indefinitely, allowing unhurried heap grooming of the freed 4096-byte slab object.\nPR:L - CAP_NET_ADMIN is required in the owning user namespaces of both netns, but an unprivileged user obtains exactly that with `unshare -Urn` plus a nested `unshare -n`, since both namespaces are owned by their own user_ns and the checks are ns_capable-based. The geneve module is autoloaded on demand from the same unprivileged rtnl_newlink path.\nUI:N - The full sequence is performed by the attacker\u0027s own processes via netlink and namespace file descriptors, with no action by any other user.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap state and is exploited for kernel privilege escalation within the same security authority; no hypervisor, IOMMU, or other authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The stale list entry points into a freed kmalloc-cg-4k object the attacker can reallocate and fill, so the list traversal in geneve_find_dev() follows an attacker-controlled `next` pointer and reads arbitrary kernel addresses, with the -EBUSY/-EPERM/success result acting as a disclosure oracle.\nI:H - Later list_del()/list_add() operations on the corrupted geneve_list write through attacker-controlled prev/next pointers, yielding a classic unlink write-what-where primitive suitable for control-flow hijacking and privilege escalation.\nA:H - The bug is a confirmed slab use-after-free (KASAN slab-use-after-free reported by syzkaller) that reliably corrupts a kernel linked list, causing oops or panic even without successful exploitation."
