Title
net/sched: cls_flow: fix NULL pointer dereference on shared blocks
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: cls_flow: fix NULL pointer dereference on shared blocks
flow_change() calls tcf_block_q() and dereferences q->handle to derive
a default baseclass. Shared blocks leave block->q NULL, causing a NULL
deref when a flow filter without a fully qualified baseclass is created
on a shared block.
Check tcf_block_shared() before accessing block->q and return -EINVAL
for shared blocks. This avoids the null-deref shown below:
=======================================================================
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000038-0x000000000000003f]
RIP: 0010:flow_change (net/sched/cls_flow.c:508)
Call Trace:
tc_new_tfilter (net/sched/cls_api.c:2432)
rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:6980)
[...]
