Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: Fix use-after-free in get_info()
ip6table_nat module unload has refcnt warning for UAF. call trace is:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 379 at kernel/module/main.c:853 module_put+0x6f/0x80
Modules linked in: ip6table_nat(-)
CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 379 Comm: ip6tables Not tainted 6.12.0-rc4-00047-gc2ee9f594da8-dirty #205
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996),
BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014
RIP: 0010:module_put+0x6f/0x80

Concurrent execution of module unload and get_info() trigered the warning.
The root cause is as follows:
cpu0 cpu1
module_exit
//mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING
ip6table_nat_exit
xt_unregister_template
kfree(t)
//removed from templ_list
getinfo()
t = xt_find_table_lock
list_for_each_entry(tmpl, &xt_templates[af]...)
if (strcmp(tmpl->name, name))
continue; //table not found
try_module_get
list_for_each_entry(t, &xt_net->tables[af]...)
return t; //not get refcnt
module_put(t->me) //uaf
unregister_pernet_subsys
//remove table from xt_net list
While xt_table module was going away and has been removed from
xt_templates list, we couldnt get refcnt of xt_table->me. Check
module in xt_net->tables list re-traversal to fix it.
