From: Lin Ma <linma@zju.edu.cn> mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.16-rc2 commit 81b1d548d00bcd028303c4f3150fa753b9b8aa71 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5224J CVE: CVE-2022-1198 -------------------------------- The former patch "defer 6pack kfree after unregister_netdev" reorders the kfree of two buffer after the unregister_netdev to prevent the race condition. It also adds free_netdev() function in sixpack_close(), which is a direct copy from the similar code in mkiss_close(). However, in sixpack driver, the flag needs_free_netdev is set to true in sp_setup(), hence the unregister_netdev() will free the netdev automatically. Therefore, as the sp is netdev_priv, use-after-free occurs. This patch removes the needs_free_netdev = true and just let the free_netdev to finish this deallocation task.
