Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] net/sched: cls_u32: Fix reference counter leak leading to overflow
Date:   Thu,  8 Jun 2023 08:29:03 +0100
Message-ID: <20230608072903.3404438-1-lee@kernel.org>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

In the event of a failure in tcf_change_indev(), u32_set_parms() will
immediately return without decrementing the recently incremented
reference counter.  If this happens enough times, the counter will
rollover and the reference freed, leading to a double free which can be
used to do 'bad things'.

In order to prevent this, move the point of possible failure above the
point where the reference counter is incremented.  Also save any
meaningful return values to be applied to the return data at the
appropriate point in time.

This issue was caught with KASAN.

Fixes: 705c7091262d ("net: sched: cls_u32: no need to call tcf_exts_change for newly allocated struct")

v1 -> v2:
  - Instead of decrementing the refcnt in the error path, move the
    point of failure up above the section which increments it.
