Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igbvf: fix double free in `igbvf_probe`
In `igbvf_probe`, if register_netdev() fails, the program will go to
label err_hw_init, and then to label err_ioremap. In free_netdev() which
is just below label err_ioremap, there is `list_for_each_entry_safe` and
`netif_napi_del` which aims to delete all entries in `dev->napi_list`.
The program has added an entry `adapter->rx_ring->napi` which is added by
`netif_napi_add` in igbvf_alloc_queues(). However, adapter->rx_ring has
been freed below label err_hw_init. So this a UAF.
In terms of how to patch the problem, we can refer to igbvf_remove() and
delete the entry before `adapter->rx_ring`.
The KASAN logs are as follows:
