This can lead to OOB accesses.\n\nThis patch adds a seqcount, so that we get a consistent snapshot.\n\nNote that mpls_label_ok is also susceptible to this, so the check\nagainst RTA_DST in rtm_to_route_config, done outside platform_mutex,\nis not sufficient. This value gets passed to mpls_label_ok once more\nin both mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del, so there is no issue, but\nthat additional check must not be removed."}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","baseScore":7.1,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"}}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["include/net/netns/mpls.h","net/mpls/af_mpls.c"],"versions":[{"version":"7720c01f3f590116882e251f13c7e1d5602f8643","lessThan":"5bb3caf0bbfb56f1a00d2af072ac3d8395a3b9ef","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7720c01f3f590116882e251f13c7e1d5602f8643","lessThan":"629ec78ef8608d955ce217880cdc3e1873af3a15","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["include/net/netns/mpls.h","net/mpls/af_mpls.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.1","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.19.12","lessThanOrEqual":"6.19.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.1","versionEndExcluding":"6.19.12"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.1","versionEndExcluding":"7.0"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5bb3caf0bbfb56f1a00d2af072ac3d8395a3b9ef"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/629ec78ef8608d955ce217880cdc3e1873af3a15"}],"title":"mpls: add seqcount to protect the platform_label{,s} pair","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
