Title
ipvlan: Make the addrs_lock be per port
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipvlan: Make the addrs_lock be per port Make the addrs_lock be per port, not per ipvlan dev. Initial code seems to be written in the assumption, that any address change must occur under RTNL. But it is not so for the case of IPv6. So 1) Introduce per-port addrs_lock. 2) It was needed to fix places where it was forgotten to take lock (ipvlan_open/ipvlan_close) This appears to be a very minor problem though. Since it's highly unlikely that ipvlan_add_addr() will be called on 2 CPU simultaneously. But nevertheless, this could cause: 1) False-negative of ipvlan_addr_busy(): one interface iterated through all port->ipvlans + ipvlan->addrs under some ipvlan spinlock, and another added IP under its own lock. Though this is only possible for IPv6, since looks like only ipvlan_addr6_event() can be called without rtnl_lock. 2) Race since ipvlan_ht_addr_add(port) is called under different ipvlan->addrs_lock locks This should not affect performance, since add/remove IP is a rare situation and spinlock is not taken on fast paths.

Ya que es muy poco probable que ipvlan_add_addr() sea llamado en 2 CPU simult\u00e1neamente. Pero, sin embargo, esto podr\u00eda causar:\\n\\n1) Falso negativo de ipvlan_addr_busy(): una interfaz iter\u00f3 a trav\u00e9s de todos los port-\u0026gt;ipvlans + ipvlan-\u0026gt;addrs bajo alg\u00fan spinlock de ipvlan, y otra a\u00f1adi\u00f3 IP bajo su propio bloqueo. Aunque esto solo es posible para IPv6, ya que parece que solo ipvlan_addr6_event() puede ser llamado sin rtnl_lock.\\n\\n2) Condici\u00f3n de carrera ya que ipvlan_ht_addr_add(port) es llamado bajo diferentes bloqueos ipvlan-\u0026gt;addrs_lock.\\n\\nEsto no deber\u00eda afectar el rendimiento, ya que a\u00f1adir/eliminar IP es una situaci\u00f3n rara y el spinlock no se toma en rutas r\u00e1pidas.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H\",\"baseScore\":5.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":3.6}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-667\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"4.17\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.10.249\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"A01BEBA6-BA9F-40D5-99D9-19EB7F39672F\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"5.11\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.15.199\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"A247FBA6-BEB9-484F-B892-DD5517949CCD\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"5.16\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.1.162\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"6579E0D4-0641-479D-A4C3-0EF618798C55\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.2\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.6.122\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"8EAAE395-0162-4BAF-9AD5-E9AF3C869C4F\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.7\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.12.68\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"52F38E19-0FDD-4992-9D6D-D4169D689598\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.13\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.18.8\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"E65C6E79-7EBE-4C77-93F0-818CF5B38F4E\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"17B67AA7-40D6-4AFA-8459-F200F3D7CFD1\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"C47E4CC9-C826-4FA9-B014-7FE3D9B318B2\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"F71D92C0-C023-48BD-B3B6-70B638EEE298\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc4:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"13580667-0A98-40CC-B29F-D12790B91BDB\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc5:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"CAD1FED7-CF48-47BF-AC7D-7B6FA3C065FC\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc6:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"3EF854A1-ABB1-4E93-BE9A-44569EC76C0D\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/04ba6de6eff61238e5397c14ac26a6578c7735a5\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f300c10d92c547c3a7d978e1212ff52f18256ed\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c149b662cbb202a450e81f938e702ba333864ad\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a81e2db096913d7e43aada1c350c1282e76db39\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/70feb16e3fbfb10b15de1396557c38e99f1ab8df\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/88f83e6c9cdb46b8c8ddd0ba01393362963cf589\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d3ba32162488283c0a4c5bedd8817aec91748802\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]}]}}"
