ipv4: fib: free fib_alias with kfree_rcu() on insert error path
[ Upstream commit f2f152e ] fib_table_insert() publishes new_fa into the leaf's fa_list with fib_insert_alias() before calling the fib entry notifiers. When a notifier fails, the error path removes new_fa with fib_remove_alias() (hlist_del_rcu) and frees it right away with kmem_cache_free(). fib_table_lookup() walks that list under rcu_read_lock() only, so a concurrent lookup that already reached new_fa keeps reading it after the free: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in fib_table_lookup (net/ipv4/fib_trie.c:1601) Read of size 1 at addr ffff88810676d4eb by task exploit/297 Call Trace: fib_table_lookup (net/ipv4/fib_trie.c:1601) ip_route_output_key_hash_rcu (net/ipv4/route.c:2814) ip_route_output_key_hash (net/ipv4/route.c:2705) __ip4_datagram_connect (net/ipv4/datagram.c:49) udp_connect (net/ipv4/udp.c:2144) __sys_connect (net/socket.c:2167) __x64_sys_connect (net/socket.c:2173) do_syscall_64 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe which belongs to the cache ip_fib_alias of size 56 Triggering the error path needs CAP_NET_ADMIN and a registered fib notifier that can reject a route; a netdevsim device whose IPv4 FIB resource is exhausted is enough. Free new_fa with alias_free_mem_rcu(), as fib_table_delete() already does for a fib_alias removed from the trie.
