🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 IPv6 구현에서 ipv6_get_ifaddr와 ipv6_del_addr 함수 간의 경쟁 상태(Race Condition)로 인해 발생하는 취약점입니다. 특정 타이밍에 IPv6 주소가 삭제되는 동안 참조 횟수(Reference Count)를 잘못 증가시켜 Use-After-Free 및 커널 패닉을 유발할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
네트워크 주소를 가져오는 동작과 삭제하는 동작이 동시에 일어날 때, 이미 삭제된 메모리 영역을 다시 사용하려고 시도하면서 시스템이 충돌하거나 오류가 발생하는 문제입니다.
🇺🇸 원문 (English)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix race condition between ipv6_get_ifaddr and ipv6_del_addr
Although ipv6_get_ifaddr walks inet6_addr_lst under the RCU lock, it
still means hlist_for_each_entry_rcu can return an item that got removed
from the list. The memory itself of such item is not freed thanks to RCU
but nothing guarantees the actual content of the memory is sane.
In particular, the reference count can be zero. This can happen if
ipv6_del_addr is called in parallel. ipv6_del_addr removes the entry
from inet6_addr_lst (hlist_del_init_rcu(&ifp->addr_lst)) and drops all
references (__in6_ifa_put(ifp) + in6_ifa_put(ifp)). With bad enough
timing, this can happen:
1. In ipv6_get_ifaddr, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu returns an entry.
2. Then, the whole ipv6_del_addr is executed for the given entry. The
reference count drops to zero and kfree_rcu is scheduled.
3. ipv6_get_ifaddr continues and tries to increments the reference count
(in6_ifa_hold).
4. The rcu is unlocked and the entry is freed.
5. The freed entry is returned.
Prevent increasing of the reference count in such case. The name
in6_ifa_hold_safe is chosen to mimic the existing fib6_info_hold_safe.
