Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nftables: avoid skb access on nfstolen

When verdict is NF_STOLEN, the skb might have been freed.

When tracing is enabled, this can result in a use-after-free: 1. access to skb->nf_trace 2. access to skb->mark 3. computation of trace id 4. dump of packet payload

To avoid 1, keep a cached copy of skb->nf_trace in the trace state struct. Refresh this copy whenever verdict is != STOLEN.

Avoid 2 by skipping skb->mark access if verdict is STOLEN.

3 is avoided by precomputing the trace id.

Only dump the packet when verdict is not "STOLEN".
