CVE-2023-54243

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: ebtables: fix table blob use-after-free

We are not allowed to return an error at this point. Looking at the code it looks like ret is always 0 at this point, but its not.

t = find_table_lock(net, repl->name, &ret, &ebt_mutex);

… this can return a valid table, with ret != 0.

This bug causes update of table->private with the new blob, but then frees the blob right away in the caller.

Syzbot report:

BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in __ebt_unregister_table+0xc00/0xcd0 net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c:1168 Read of size 4 at addr ffffc90005425000 by task kworker/u4:4/74 Workqueue: netns cleanup_net Call Trace: kasan_report+0xbf/0x1f0 mm/kasan/report.c:517 __ebt_unregister_table+0xc00/0xcd0 net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c:1168 ebt_unregister_table+0x35/0x40 net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c:1372 ops_exit_list+0xb0/0x170 net/core/net_namespace.c:169 cleanup_net+0x4ee/0xb10 net/core/net_namespace.c:613 …

ip(6)tables appears to be ok (ret should be 0 at this point) but make this more obvious.
