The problem was\nin wrong error handling in batadv_mesh_init().\n\nBefore this patch batadv_mesh_init() was calling batadv_mesh_free() in case\nof any batadv_*_init() calls failure. This approach may work well, when\nthere is some kind of indicator, which can tell which parts of batadv are\ninitialized; but there isn\u0027t any.\n\nAll written above lead to cleaning up uninitialized fields. Even if we hide\nODEBUG warning by initializing bat_priv-\u003enc.work, syzbot was able to hit\nGPF in batadv_nc_purge_paths(), because hash pointer in still NULL. [1]\n\nTo fix these bugs we can unwind batadv_*_init() calls one by one.\nIt is good approach for 2 reasons: 1) It fixes bugs on error handling\npath 2) It improves the performance, since we won\u0027t call unneeded\nbatadv_*_free() functions.\n\nSo, this patch makes all batadv_*_init() clean up all allocated memory\nbefore returning with an error to no call correspoing batadv_*_free()\nand open-codes batadv_mesh_free() with proper order to avoid touching\nuninitialized fields."

The problem was\\nin wrong error handling in batadv_mesh_init().\\n\\nBefore this patch batadv_mesh_init() was calling batadv_mesh_free() in case\\nof any batadv_*_init() calls failure. This approach may work well, when\\nthere is some kind of indicator, which can tell which parts of batadv are\\ninitialized; but there isn\u0027t any.\\n\\nAll written above lead to cleaning up uninitialized fields. Even if we hide\\nODEBUG warning by initializing bat_priv-\u003enc.work, syzbot was able to hit\\nGPF in batadv_nc_purge_paths(), because hash pointer in still NULL. [1]\\n\\nTo fix these bugs we can unwind batadv_*_init() calls one by one.\\nIt is good approach for 2 reasons: 1) It fixes bugs on error handling\\npath 2) It improves the performance, since we won\u0027t call unneeded\\nbatadv_*_free() functions.\\n\\nSo, this patch makes all batadv_*_init() clean up all allocated memory\\nbefore returning with an error to no call correspoing batadv_*_free()\\nand open-codes batadv_mesh_free() with proper order to avoid touching\\nuninitialized fields.\"},{\"lang\":\"es\",\"value\":\"En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: batman-adv: correcci\u00f3n de manejo de errores Syzbot inform\u00f3 advertencia ODEBUG en batadv_nc_mesh_free(). El problema estaba en el manejo incorrecto de errores en batadv_mesh_init(). Antes de este parche, batadv_mesh_init() llamaba a batadv_mesh_free() en caso de que fallara alguna llamada a batadv_*_init(). Este enfoque puede funcionar bien cuando hay alg\u00fan tipo de indicador que puede indicar qu\u00e9 partes de batadv est\u00e1n inicializadas; pero no hay ninguno. Todo lo escrito anteriormente conduce a la sanitizaci\u00f3n de campos no inicializados. Incluso si ocultamos la advertencia ODEBUG inicializando bat_priv-\u0026gt;nc.work, syzbot pudo presionar GPF en batadv_nc_purge_paths(), porque el puntero hash todav\u00eda es NULL. [1] Para corregir estos errores podemos desenredar las llamadas batadv_*_init() una por una. Es un buen enfoque por 2 razones: 1) Corrige errores en la ruta de manejo de errores 2) Mejora el rendimiento, ya que no llamaremos a funciones batadv_*_free() innecesarias. Entonces, este parche hace que batadv_*_init() limpie toda la memoria asignada antes de regresar con un error de no llamada correspondiente a batadv_*_free() y c\u00f3digos abiertos batadv_mesh_free() con el orden adecuado para evitar tocar campos no inicializados.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"HIGH\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"baseScore\":5.3,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.6,\"impactScore\":3.6}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-544\"}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/07533f1a673ce1126d0a72ef1e4b5eaaa3dd6d20\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0c6b199f09be489c48622537a550787fc80aea73\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6422e8471890273994fe8cc6d452b0dcd2c9483e\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f68cd634856f8ca93bafd623ba5357e0f648c68\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a8f7359259dd5923adc6129284fdad12fc5db347\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b0a2cd38553c77928ef1646ed1518486b1e70ae8\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e50f957652190b5a88a8ebce7e5ab14ebd0d3f00\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fbf150b16a3635634b7dfb7f229d8fcd643c6c51\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"}]}}"
