Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: serialize udp bearer replicast list updates tipc_udp_rcast_add() and cleanup_bearer() both update ub->rcast.list with list_add_rcu() / list_del_rcu(), but nothing serializes them. The add runs from the encap receive softirq (via tipc_udp_rcast_disc()) without rtnl_lock(), so it can race the cleanup delete and corrupt the list: list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff8880298d7ab8, but was ffff88802449ad38. (prev=ffff888027e3ec98) kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:62! RIP: __list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0x17a/0x200 Workqueue: events cleanup_bearer Call Trace: cleanup_bearer (net/tipc/udp_media.c:811) process_one_work (kernel/workqueue.c:3302) worker_thread (kernel/workqueue.c:3466) The bearer can be enabled from an unprivileged user namespace, as the TIPCv2 generic-netlink ops carry no GENL_ADMIN_PERM. Add a spinlock to struct udp_bearer and take it around the list_add_rcu() in tipc_udp_rcast_add() and the list_del_rcu() loop in cleanup_bearer() so the two writers can no longer corrupt the list. Reject a duplicate peer under the same lock before allocating, and remove tipc_udp_is_known_peer(). The old lockless pre-check in tipc_udp_rcast_disc() was racy: two softirqs discovering the same peer could both find it absent and add it twice. cleanup_bearer() runs from a workqueue after tipc_udp_disable() clears the bearer's up bit, so an encap softirq can still reach tipc_udp_rcast_add() and add a peer after cleanup_bearer() has already emptied the list, leaking that entry when the bearer is freed. Mark the bearer disabled under rcast_lock once the list is emptied and refuse further additions.
