Summary

The Linux kernel team driver is affected from version 3.7. After a queue override port's qdisc drops a packet, the driver hands the already freed socket buffer to another transmit path, causing a use after free. The KASAN report shows a slab use after free write and a kernel panic when panic_on_warn is set.

Description from the CNA

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: team: stop reusing skb after queue override A nonzero dev_queue_xmit() result does not return ownership of the skb. When an override port's qdisc drops it, the queue override helper used to try another port or the mode transmit op with the freed skb. Return the handoff decision separately from transmit success. Select only the first override port under RCU and stop after handing it the skb, regardless of the lower transmit result. Keep the existing success and drop accounting. BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sk_skb_reason_drop Write of size 4 by task poc/5040 sk_skb_reason_drop (net/core/skbuff.c:1240) dev_kfree_skb_any_reason (net/core/dev.c:3470) ab_transmit (drivers/net/team/team_mode_activebackup.c:49) team_xmit (drivers/net/team/team_core.c:1849) __dev_direct_xmit (net/core/dev.c:4934) Freed by task 5040: __tcf_kfree_skb_list (net/sched/sch_generic.c:43) __dev_queue_xmit (net/core/dev.c:4831) team_xmit (drivers/net/team/team_core.c:1846) Kernel panic - not syncing: KASAN: panic_on_warn set ...
