CVE-2023-53107
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
veth: Fix use after free in XDP_REDIRECT
Commit 718a18a0c8a6 ("veth: Rework veth_xdp_rcv_skb in order to accept non-linear skb") introduced a bug where it tried to use pskb_expand_head() if the headroom was less than XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM. This however uses kmalloc to expand the head, which will later allow consume_skb() to free the skb while is it still in use by AF_XDP.
Previously if the headroom was less than XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM we continued on to allocate a new skb from pages so this restores that behavior.
The buggy address belongs to the physical page: page:00000000ae18262a refcount:2 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x976250 head:00000000ae18262a order:3 compound_mapcount:0 compound_pincount:0 flags: 0x2ffff800010200(slab|head|node=0|zone=2|lastcpupid=0x1ffff) raw: 002ffff800010200 0000000000000000 dead000000000122 ffff88810004cf00 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000080080008 00000002ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected
