Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-21 15:31 – Updated: 2024-11-01 18:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: conntrack: serialize hash resizes and cleanups
Syzbot was able to trigger the following warning [1]
No repro found by syzbot yet but I was able to trigger similar issue by having 2 scripts running in parallel, changing conntrack hash sizes, and:
for j in seq 1 1000 ; do unshare -n /bin/true >/dev/null ; done
It would take more than 5 minutes for net_namespace structures to be cleaned up.
This is because nf_ct_iterate_cleanup() has to restart everytime a resize happened.
By adding a mutex, we can serialize hash resizes and cleanups and also make get_next_corpse() faster by skipping over empty buckets.
Even without resizes in the picture, this patch considerably speeds up network namespace dismantles.
