However, they are not unlinked from the device's\nmulticast hash table (mc_hash).\n\nSince the device remains published in dev->ip_ptr until after\nip_mc_destroy_dev() completes, concurrent RCU readers traversing mc_hash\ncan still locate and access the multicast group after its refcount is\ndecremented. If the RCU callback runs and frees the group while a reader is\naccessing it, a use-after-free occurs.\n\nFix this by unlinking the multicast group from mc_hash using\nip_mc_hash_remove() before scheduling it for reclamation.\n\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ip_check_mc_rcu+0x149/0x3f0\nRead of size 4 at addr ffff888009bf1408 by task mausezahn/2276\n\nCall Trace:\n <IRQ>\n dump_stack_lvl+0x67/0x90\n print_report+0x175/0x7c0\n kasan_report+0x147/0x180\n ip_check_mc_rcu+0x149/0x3f0\n udp_v4_early_demux+0x36d/0x12d0\n ip_rcv_finish_core+0xb8b/0x1390\n ip_rcv_finish+0x54/0x120\n NF_HOOK+0x213/0x2b0\n __netif_receive_skb+0x126/0x340\n process_backlog+0x4f2/0xf00\n __napi_poll+0x92/0x2c0\n net_rx_action+0x583/0xc60\n handle_softirqs+0x236/0x7f0\n do_softirq+0x57/0x80\n </IRQ>\n\nAllocated by task 2239:\n kasan_save_track+0x3e/0x80\n __kasan_kmalloc+0x72/0x90\n ____ip_mc_inc_group+0x31a/0xa40\n __ip_mc_join_group+0x334/0x3f0\n do_ip_setsockopt+0x16fa/0x2010\n ip_setsockopt+0x3f/0x90\n do_sock_setsockopt+0x1ad/0x300\n\nFreed by task 0:\n kasan_save_track+0x3e/0x80\n kasan_save_free_info+0x40/0x50\n __kasan_slab_free+0x3a/0x60\n __rcu_free_sheaf_prepare+0xd4/0x220\n rcu_free_sheaf+0x36/0x190\n rcu_core+0x8d9/0x12f0\n handle_softirqs+0x236/0x7f0"}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":7.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"},"scenarios":[{"lang":"en","value":"AV:L - An end-to-end attacker-controlled trigger requires local socket and netlink operations to create multicast memberships and concurrently destroy IPv4 device state; received multicast packets alone cannot initiate the necessary teardown.

No victim-dependent timing or secret state is required.\nPR:L - Device teardown or invalid-MTU configuration requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the target network namespace, while multicast joins and UDP sends are unprivileged. An ordinary user can obtain this namespace-scoped capability through unprivileged user and network namespaces.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no action by another user once the attacker can execute locally and create the required namespace and traffic.\nS:U - The vulnerable code and resulting host-kernel compromise remain within the same security authority; this is conventional kernel privilege escalation rather than a guest-to-host escape.\nC:H - The stale kmalloc-256 ip_mc_list entry exposes reuse-controlled fields and pointers to kernel reads, making kernel-memory disclosure and broader read primitives plausible.\nI:H -
