Subject: [PATCH] openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free

Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to dereference the freed state.

An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the netns is torn down.

Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET traverses the RCU-protected limit lists.

Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet .pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization.

The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a request is processed. The per-netns exit path therefore cannot run concurrently with SET, DEL, or GET for that socket's namespace.

Fixes 11efd5cb04a1 ("openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit")

The patch doesn't apply well without the previous kernel-doc fix. It seems cleaner to backport both instead of modifying the main patch.

PATCH 1/2 net: openvswitch: fix kernel-doc warnings in internal headers

[ Upstream commit 6bb0dcb3d321c14be7ca33b71a149034d6a2cde8 ]

Some field descriptions were missing, some were not very accurate. Not touching the uAPI header or .c files for now.

Formatting of those comments isn't great in general, but at least they are not missing anything now.

PATCH 2/2 openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free

In reply to Ilya Maximets

From: Yuqi Xu <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 403f96c32c9e24600093d7d0c61c17daeedca957 ]

Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to dereference the freed state.

An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the netns is torn down.

Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET traverses the RCU-protected limit lists.

Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet .pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization.

The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a request is processed. The per-netns exit path therefore cannot run concurrently with SET, DEL, or GET for that socket's namespace.

Fixes 11efd5cb04a1 ("openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit")
