xsk: check IFF_UP earlier in Tx path
Summary
xsk: check IFF_UP earlier in Tx path
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: check IFF_UP earlier in Tx path
Xsk Tx can be triggered via either sendmsg() or poll() syscalls. These
two paths share a call to common function xsk_xmit() which has two
sanity checks within. A pseudo code example to show the two paths:
__xsk_sendmsg() : xsk_poll():
if (unlikely(!xsk_is_bound(xs))) if (unlikely(!xsk_is_bound(xs)))
return -ENXIO; return mask;
if (unlikely(need_wait)) (...)
return -EOPNOTSUPP; xsk_xmit()
mark napi id
(...)
xsk_xmit()
xsk_xmit():
if (unlikely(!(xs->dev->flags & IFF_UP)))
return -ENETDOWN;
if (unlikely(!xs->tx))
return -ENOBUFS;
As it can be observed above, in sendmsg() napi id can be marked on
interface that was not brought up and this causes a NULL ptr
dereference:
