CVE-2024-27010

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:net/sched: Fix mirred deadlock on device recursionWhen the mirred action is used on a classful egress qdisc and a packet ismirrored or redirected to self we hit a qdisc lock deadlock.See trace below.[..... other info removed for brevity....][ 82.890906][ 82.890906] ============================================[ 82.890906] WARNING: possible recursive locking detected[ 82.890906] 6.8.0-05205-g77fadd89fe2d-dirty #213 Tainted: G W[ 82.890906] --------------------------------------------[ 82.890906] ping/418 is trying to acquire lock:[ 82.890906] ffff888006994110 (&sch->q.lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at:__dev_queue_xmit+0x1778/0x3550[ 82.890906][ 82.890906] but task is already holding lock:[ 82.890906] ffff888006994110 (&sch->q.lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at:__dev_queue_xmit+0x1778/0x3550[ 82.890906][ 82.890906] other info that might help us debug this:[ 82.890906] Possible unsafe locking scenario:[ 82.890906][ 82.890906] CPU0[ 82.890906] ----[ 82.890906] lock(&sch->q.lock);[ 82.890906] lock(&sch->q.lock);[ 82.890906][ 82.890906] *** DEADLOCK ***[ 82.890906][..... other info removed for brevity....]Example setup (eth0->eth0) to recreatetc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 30tc filter add dev eth0 handle 1: protocol ip prio 2 matchall action mirred egress redirect dev eth0Another example(eth0->eth1->eth0) to recreatetc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 30tc filter add dev eth0 handle 1: protocol ip prio 2 matchall action mirred egress redirect dev eth1tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: htb default 30tc filter add dev eth1 handle 1: protocol ip prio 2 matchall action mirred egress redirect dev eth0We fix this by adding an owner field (CPU id) to struct Qdisc set afterroot qdisc is entered. When the softirq enters it a second time, if theqdisc owner is the same CPU, the packet is dropped to break the loop.
