Esencialmente, la secuencia para activar la UAF (un ejemplo) puede ser la siguiente: 1. Se crea un espacio de nombres de red. 2. Se crea una qdisc de entrada. Esto asigna un tcx_entry, y &tcx_entry->miniq se almacena en el miniqp->p_miniq de la qdisc. Al mismo tiempo, se crea un bloque tcf con \u00edndice 1. 3. chain0 est\u00e1 adjunta al bloque tcf. chain0 debe estar conectado al bloque vinculado a la qdisc de ingreso para luego llegar a la funci\u00f3n tcf_chain0_head_change_cb_del() que activa la UAF. 4. Cree e injerte una qdisc clsact. Esto hace que se elimine la qdisc de entrada creada en el paso 1, liberando as\u00ed la tcx_entry previamente vinculada: rtnetlink_rcv_msg() => tc_modify_qdisc() => qdisc_create() => clsact_init() [a] => qdisc_graft() => qdisc_destroy( ) => __qdisc_destroy() => ingress_destroy() [b] => tcx_entry_free() => kfree_rcu() // tcx_entry liberado 5. Finalmente, se cierra el espacio de nombres de la red. Esto registra el trabajador cleanup_net y, durante el proceso de liberaci\u00f3n de la qdisc clsact restante, accede a tcx_entry que ya se liber\u00f3 en el paso 4, lo que provoca que se produzca la UAF: cleanup_net() => ops_exit_list() => default_device_exit_batch() => unregister_netdevice_many() => unregister_netdevice_many_notify() => dev_shutdown() => qdisc_put() => clsact_destroy() [c] => tcf_block_put_ext() => tcf_chain0_head_change_cb_del() => tcf_chain_head_change_item() => clsact_chain_head_change() => mini_qdisc_pair _intercambiar( ) // UAF Tambi\u00e9n hay otras variantes, lo esencial es agregar una qdisc de ingreso (o clsact) con un bloque compartido espec\u00edfico, luego reemplazar esa qdisc, esperar a que se ejecute tcx_entry kfree_rcu() y posteriormente acceder al activo actual miniq de qdisc de una forma u otra. La soluci\u00f3n correcta es convertir el booleano miniq_active en un contador. Lo que se puede observar, en el paso 2 anterior, el contador pasa de 0->1, en el paso [a] de 1->2 (para que el objeto miniq permanezca activo durante el reemplazo), luego en [b] de 2->1 y finalmente [c] 1->0 con el eventual lanzamiento. El contador de referencia en general oscila entre [0,2] y no necesita ser at\u00f3mico ya que todo acceso al contador est\u00e1 protegido por el mutex rtnl.

A network namespace is created\n2. An ingress qdisc is created. This allocates a tcx_entry, and\n&tcx_entry->miniq is stored in the qdisc's miniqp->p_miniq. At the\nsame time, a tcf block with index 1 is created.\n3. chain0 is attached to the tcf block. chain0 must be connected to\nthe block linked to the ingress qdisc to later reach the function\ntcf_chain0_head_change_cb_del() which triggers the UAF.\n4. Create and graft a clsact qdisc. This causes the ingress qdisc\ncreated in step 1 to be removed, thus freeing the previously linked\ntcx_entry:\nrtnetlink_rcv_msg()\n=> tc_modify_qdisc()\n=> qdisc_create()\n=> clsact_init() [a]\n=> qdisc_graft()\n=> qdisc_destroy()\n=> __qdisc_destroy()\n=> ingress_destroy() [b]\n=> tcx_entry_free()\n=> kfree_rcu() // tcx_entry freed\n5. Finally, the network namespace is closed. This registers the\ncleanup_net worker, and during the process of releasing the\nremaining clsact qdisc, it accesses the tcx_entry that was\nalready freed in step 4, causing the UAF to occur:\ncleanup_net()\n=> ops_exit_list()\n=> default_device_exit_batch()\n=> unregister_netdevice_many()\n=> unregister_netdevice_many_notify()\n=> dev_shutdown()\n=> qdisc_put()\n=> clsact_destroy() [c]\n=> tcf_block_put_ext()\n=> tcf_chain0_head_change_cb_del()\n=> tcf_chain_head_change_item()\n=> clsact_chain_head_change()\n=> mini_qdisc_pair_swap() // UAF\nThere are also other variants, the gist is to add an ingress (or clsact)\nqdisc with a specific shared block, then to replace that qdisc, waiting\nfor the tcx_entry kfree_rcu() to be executed and subsequently accessing\nthe current active qdisc's miniq one way or another.\nThe correct fix is to turn the miniq_active boolean into a counter. What\ncan be observed, at step 2 above, the counter transitions from 0->1, at\nstep [a] from 1->2 (in order for the miniq object to remain active during\nthe replacement), then in [b] from 2->1 and finally [c] 1->0 with the\neventual release. The reference counter in general ranges from [0,2] and\nit does not need to be atomic since all access to the counter is protected\nby the rtnl mutex. With this in place, there is no longer a UAF happening\nand the tcx_entry is freed at the correct time."], "name": "CVE-2024-41010", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:6", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Will not fix", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Will not fix", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Will not fix", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}], "public_date": "2024-07-17T00:00:00Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-41010\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-41010"], "threat_severity": "Moderate"}
