CVE-2022-49345
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: xfrm: unexport __init-annotated xfrm4_protocol_init()
EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up with kernel panic.
modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.
Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this showed up in linux-next builds.
There are two ways to fix it:
I chose the latter for this case because the only in-tree call-site, net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c is never compiled as modular. (CONFIG_XFRM is boolean)
