Descriptions

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

i40e: Fix kernel crash during module removal

The driver incorrectly frees client instance and subsequent
i40e module removal leads to kernel crash.

Reproducer:
1. Do ethtool offline test followed immediately by another one
host# ethtool -t eth0 offline; ethtool -t eth0 offline
2. Remove recursively irdma module that also removes i40e module
host# modprobe -r irdma

Two offline tests cause IRDMA driver failure (ETIMEDOUT) and this
failure is indicated back to i40e_client_subtask() that calls
i40e_client_del_instance() to free client instance referenced
by pf->cinst and sets this pointer to NULL. During the module
removal i40e_remove() calls i40e_lan_del_device() that dereferences
pf->cinst that is NULL -> crash.
Do not remove client instance when client open callbacks fails and
just clear __I40E_CLIENT_INSTANCE_OPENED bit. The driver also needs
to take care about this situation (when netdev is up and client
is NOT opened) in i40e_notify_client_of_netdev_close() and
calls client close callback only when __I40E_CLIENT_INSTANCE_OPENED
is set.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: i40e: soluciona el fallo del kernel durante la eliminación del módulo. El controlador libera incorrectamente la instancia del cliente y la posterior eliminación del módulo i40e provoca un fallo del kernel. Reproductor: 1. Realice la prueba fuera de línea de ethtool seguida inmediatamente por otro host# ethtool -t eth0 fuera de línea; ethtool -t eth0 offline 2. Elimine recursivamente el módulo irdma que también elimina el módulo i40e host# modprobe -r irdma Resultado: [8675.035651] i40e 0000:3d:00.0 eno1: pruebas fuera de línea iniciando [8675.193774] i40e 0000:3d:00.0 eno1: pruebas terminado [ 8675.201316] i40e 0000:3d:00.0 eno1: prueba fuera de línea iniciando [ 8675.358921] i40e 0000:3d:00.0 eno1: prueba finalizada [ 8675.496921] i40e 0000:3d:00.0: inicialización de hardware IRDMA FALLADA init_state=2 estado = -110 [ 8686.188955] i40e 0000:3d:00.1: i40e_ptp_stop: PHC eliminado en eno2 [ 8686.943890] i40e 0000:3d:00.1: Dispositivo LAN eliminado PF1 bus=0x3d dev=0x00 func=0x01 [ 8686.952669] 0e 0000:3d:00.0: i40e_ptp_stop: se eliminó PHC en eno1 [8687.761787] ERROR: desreferencia del puntero NULL del kernel, dirección: 0000000000000030 [8687.768755] #PF: acceso de lectura de supervisor en modo kernel [8687.773895] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - página no presente [8687.779034] P GD 0 P4D 0 [ 8687.781575] Ups: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI [ 8687.785935] CPU: 51 PID: 172891 Comm: rmmod Kdump: cargado Contaminado: GWI 5.19.0+ #2 [ 8687.794800] Nombre de hardware: Intel Corporation S2600WFD/S26 00WFD, BIOS SE5C620.86B.0X.02.0001.051420190324 14/05/2019 [8687.805222] RIP: 0010:i40e_lan_del_device+0x13/0xb0 [i40e] [8687.810719] Código: d4 84 c0 0f 84 b8 25 01 00 e9 9c 25 01 00 41 bc f4 ff ff ff eb 91 90 0f 1f 44 00 00 41 54 55 53 48 8b 87 58 08 00 00 48 89 fb &lt;48&gt; 8b 68 30 48 89 ef e8 21 8a 0f d5 48 89 ef e8 a9 0f d5 48 8b [8687.829462] RSP: 0018:ffffa604072efce0 EFLAGS: 00010202 [8687.834689] RAX: 00000000000000000 RBX: ffff8f43833b2000 RCX: 00000000000000 00 [ 8687.841821] RDX: 00000000000000000 RSI: ffff8f4b0545b298 RDI: ffff8f43833b2000 [ 8687.848955] RBP: ffff8f43833b2000 R08: 000000000000000 01 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 8687.856086 ] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000ffffffffff000 R12: ffff8f43833b2ef0 [ 8687.863218] R13: ffff8f43833b2ef0 R14: ffff915103966000 R15: 2008 [ 8687.870342] FS: 00007f79501c3740(0000) GS:ffff8f4adffc0000(0000) knlGS:000000000000000000 [ 8687.878427] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES : 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 8687.884174] CR2: 0000000000000030 CR3: 000000014276e004 CR4: 00000000007706e0 [ 8687.891306] DR0: 00000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 8687.898441] DR3: 00000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 8687.905572] PKRU: 55555554 [ 8687.908286] Seguimiento de llamadas: [8687.910737] [8687.912843] i40e_remove+0x2c0/0x330 [i40e] [8687.917040] pci_device_remove+0x33/0xa0 [8687.920962] device_release_driver_internal+0x1aa/ 0x230 [8687.926188] driver_detach+0x44/0x90 [8687.929770] bus_remove_driver+0x55 /0xe0 [ 8687.933693] pci_unregister_driver+0x2a/0xb0 [ 8687.937967] i40e_exit_module+0xc/0xf48 [i40e] Dos pruebas fuera de línea causan una falla del controlador IRDMA (ETIMEDOUT) y esta falla se indica a i40e_client_subtask() que llama a i40e_client_del _instance() para liberar la instancia del cliente referenciado por pf-&gt;cinst y establece este puntero en NULL.
