Title
net, bpf: check master for NULL in xdp_master_redirect()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net, bpf: check master for NULL in xdp_master_redirect()
xdp_master_redirect() dereferences the result of
netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu() without a NULL check, but that helper
returns NULL when the receiving device has no upper-master adjacency.
The reach guard only checks netif_is_bond_slave(). On bond slave release
bond_upper_dev_unlink() drops the upper-master adjacency before clearing
IFF_SLAVE, so an XDP_TX reaching xdp_master_redirect() in that window
still passes netif_is_bond_slave() while master is already NULL, and
faults on master->flags at offset 0xb0:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000b0
RIP: 0010:xdp_master_redirect (net/core/filter.c:4432)
Call Trace:

packet_sendmsg (net/packet/af_packet.c:3082)
__sys_sendto (net/socket.c:2252)
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
The missing check dates back to the original code; commit 1921f91298d1
("net, bpf: fix null-ptr-deref in xdp_master_redirect() for down master")
later added the master->flags read where the fault now lands but kept the
unconditional deref. Check master for NULL before use; a NULL master is
treated the same as one that is not up.
