CVE-2022-50310 | ip6mr: fix UAF issue in ip6mr_sk_done() when addrconf_init_net() failed

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ip6mr: fix UAF issue in ip6mr_sk_done() when addrconf_init_net() failed If the initialization fails in calling addrconf_init_net(), devconf_all is the pointer that has been released. Then ip6mr_sk_done() is called to release the net, accessing devconf->mc_forwarding directly causes invalid pointer access. The process is as follows: setup_net() ops_init() addrconf_init_net() all = kmemdup(...) ---> alloc "all" ... net->ipv6.devconf_all = all; __addrconf_sysctl_register() ---> failed ... kfree(all); ---> ipv6.devconf_all invalid ... ops_exit_list() ... ip6mr_sk_done() devconf = net->ipv6.devconf_all; //devconf is invalid pointer if (!devconf || !atomic_read(&devconf->mc_forwarding)) The following is the Call Trace information: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ip6mr_sk_done+0x112/0x3a0 Read of size 4 at addr ffff888075508e88 by task ip/14554 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x8e/0xd1 print_report+0x155/0x454 kasan_report+0xba/0x1f0 kasan_check_range+0x35/0x1b0 ip6mr_sk_done+0x112/0x3a0 rawv6_close+0x48/0x70 inet_release+0x109/0x230 inet6_release+0x4c/0x70 sock_release+0x87/0x1b0 igmp6_net_exit+0x6b/0x170 ops_exit_list+0xb0/0x170 setup_net+0x7ac/0xbd0 copy_net_ns+0x2e6/0x6b0 create_new_namespaces+0x382/0xa50 unshare_nsproxy_namespaces+0xa6/0x1c0 ksys_unshare+0x3a4/0x7e0 __x64_sys_unshare+0x2d/0x40 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 RIP: 0033:0x7f7963322547 </TASK> Allocated by task 14554: kasan_save_stack+0x1e/0x40 kasan_set_track+0x21/0x30 __kasan_kmalloc+0xa1/0xb0 __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x4a/0xb0 kmemdup+0x28/0x60 addrconf_init_net+0x1be/0x840 ops_init+0xa5/0x410 setup_net+0x5aa/0xbd0 copy_net_ns+0x2e6/0x6b0 create_new_namespaces+0x382/0xa50 unshare_nsproxy_namespaces+0xa6/0x1c0 ksys_unshare+0x3a4/0x7e0 __x64_sys_unshare+0x2d/0x40 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 Freed by task 14554: kasan_save_stack+0x1e/0x40 kasan_set_track+0x21/0x30 kasan_save_free_info+0x2a/0x40 ____kasan_slab_free+0x155/0x1b0 slab_free_freelist_hook+0x11b/0x220 __kmem_cache_free+0xa4/0x360 addrconf_init_net+0x623/0x840 ops_init+0xa5/0x410 setup_net+0x5aa/0xbd0 copy_net_ns+0x2e6/0x6b0 create_new_namespaces+0x382/0xa50 unshare_nsproxy_namespaces+0xa6/0x1c0 ksys_unshare+0x3a4/0x7e0 __x64_sys_unshare+0x2d/0x40 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
7.8 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
