Title
net: openvswitch: Avoid releasing netdev before teardown completes
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: Avoid releasing netdev before teardown completes
The patch cited in the Fixes tag below changed the teardown code for
OVS ports to no longer unconditionally take the RTNL. After this change,
the netdev_destroy() callback can proceed immediately to the call_rcu()
invocation if the IFF_OVS_DATAPATH flag is already cleared on the
netdev.
The ovs_netdev_detach_dev() function clears the flag before completing
the unregistration, and if it gets preempted after clearing the flag (as
can happen on an -rt kernel), netdev_destroy() can complete and the
device can be freed before the unregistration completes. This leads to a
splat like:

"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: openvswitch: Avoid releasing netdev before teardown completes\n\nThe patch cited in the Fixes tag below changed the teardown code for\nOVS ports to no longer unconditionally take the RTNL. After this change,\nthe netdev_destroy() callback can proceed immediately to the call_rcu()\ninvocation if the IFF_OVS_DATAPATH flag is already cleared on the\nnetdev.\n\nThe ovs_netdev_detach_dev() function clears the flag before completing\nthe unregistration, and if it gets preempted after clearing the flag (as\ncan happen on an -rt kernel), netdev_destroy() can complete and the\ndevice can be freed before the unregistration completes.

The race is repeatable through local operations, so complexity is low.\nPR:L - The OVS generic netlink commands require CAP_NET_ADMIN via GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, and rtnetlink deletion requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the socket network namespace. These are reachable with low privileges in deployments allowing unprivileged user and network namespaces.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required once the attacker can issue the local netlink operations. The attacker can create and tear down the OVS/netdevice state directly.\nS:U - The impact is within the local kernel security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary change.\nC:H - The flaw can free the vport/net_device before teardown completes, producing a use-after-free on kernel objects. Under the required overestimating rule, this memory corruption is treated as capable of enabling kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The same use-after-free can plausibly be exploited with heap reuse/spraying to corrupt kernel state or hijack control flow. Therefore integrity impact is high.\nA:H - The reported failure is a kernel general protection fault during OVS/netdevice teardown. A local attacker can repeatedly trigger the race to crash or destabilize the kernel."

After this change,\nthe netdev_destroy() callback can proceed immediately to the call_rcu()\ninvocation if the IFF_OVS_DATAPATH flag is already cleared on the\nnetdev.\n\nThe ovs_netdev_detach_dev() function clears the flag before completing\nthe unregistration, and if it gets preempted after clearing the flag (as\ncan happen on an -rt kernel), netdev_destroy() can complete and the\ndevice can be freed before the unregistration completes.

After this change,\nthe netdev_destroy() callback can proceed immediately to the call_rcu()\ninvocation if the IFF_OVS_DATAPATH flag is already cleared on the\nnetdev.\n\nThe ovs_netdev_detach_dev() function clears the flag before completing\nthe unregistration, and if it gets preempted after clearing the flag (as\ncan happen on an -rt kernel), netdev_destroy() can complete and the\ndevice can be freed before the unregistration completes.

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable path is reached through local netlink/rtnetlink operations that create/delete Open vSwitch vports and delete the underlying netdevice. It is not directly reachable by remote network packets.\nAC:L - The bug is a teardown race, but an attacker with the needed namespace network privileges can control both sides by concurrently deleting the OVS vport/datapath and the attached netdevice. The race is repeatable through local operations, so complexity is low.\nPR:L - The OVS generic netlink commands require CAP_NET_ADMIN via GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, and rtnetlink deletion requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the socket network namespace. These are reachable with low privileges in deployments allowing unprivileged user and network namespaces.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required once the attacker can issue the local netlink operations. The attacker can create and tear down the OVS/netdevice state directly.\nS:U - The impact is within the local kernel security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary change.\nC:H - The flaw can free the vport/net_device before teardown completes, producing a use-after-free on kernel objects. Under the required overestimating rule, this memory corruption is treated as capable of enabling kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The same use-after-free can plausibly be exploited with heap reuse/spraying to corrupt kernel state or hijack control flow. Therefore integrity impact is high.\nA:H - The reported failure is a kernel general protection fault during OVS/netdevice teardown. A local attacker can repeatedly trigger the race to crash or destabilize the kernel."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
