The latter is serialized by RTNL,\nbut the generic-netlink delete path only holds RCU.\n\nRunning both paths concurrently can therefore make both paths delete the\nsame PDP context. The issue was found through static analysis and\nreproduced on a KASAN-enabled kernel by a simple two-thread program\nracing GTP_CMD_DELPDP against RTM_DELLINK:\n\n  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address\n  KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range\n         [0xdead000000000120-0xdead000000000127]\n  RIP: gtp_genl_del_pdp+0x1c1/0x420 [gtp]\n  RBP: dead000000000122\n\nThe second deletion dereferenced the poisoned hlist pprev pointer.\n\nSerialize gtp_pdp_add(), gtp_genl_del_pdp(), and gtp_dellink() with a\nshared mutex. Keep the mutex held until the final use of a PDP context in\nthe NEWPDP path, and keep the RCU read-side section around the complete\nPDP context use in the DELPDP path."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/gtp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"459aa660eb1d8ce67080da1983bb81d716aa5a69","lessThan":"b4ac2a5ce5a96ec21ed48f60d30b52b1fb22c62a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"459aa660eb1d8ce67080da1983bb81d716aa5a69","lessThan":"5f77ddb2756340c1b05381674ca025d52998005e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"459aa660eb1d8ce67080da1983bb81d716aa5a69","lessThan":"3d950e98f74af9611925a5226edced02155f6ed1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"459aa660eb1d8ce67080da1983bb81d716aa5a69","lessThan":"6df4f05bc2991467939d7d80b6f7e121559cc3df","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"459aa660eb1d8ce67080da1983bb81d716aa5a69","lessThan":"1e995498d29784a06a2b2899370a1926cfc8410d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"459aa660eb1d8ce67080da1983bb81d716aa5a69","lessThan":"498386b6d402737db1e2eeed4c385acbf0ef9e34","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/gtp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.7","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.7","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.158","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.108","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.49","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.13","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.3","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","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":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.158"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.108"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.49"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.13"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.3"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b4ac2a5ce5a96ec21ed48f60d30b52b1fb22c62a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f77ddb2756340c1b05381674ca025d52998005e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d950e98f74af9611925a5226edced02155f6ed1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6df4f05bc2991467939d7d80b6f7e121559cc3df"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1e995498d29784a06a2b2899370a1926cfc8410d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/498386b6d402737db1e2eeed4c385acbf0ef9e34"}],"title":"gtp: serialize PDP context updates","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
