Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] net: ipv4: remove erroneous advancement of list pointer
Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2019 16:02:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190617140228.12523-2-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190617140228.12523-1-fw@strlen.de>

Causes crash when lifetime expires on an adress as garbage is
dereferenced soon after.

This used to look like this:

 for (ifap = &ifa->ifa_dev->ifa_list;
      *ifap != NULL; ifap = &(*ifap)->ifa_next) {
          if (*ifap == ifa) ...

but this was changed to:

struct in_ifaddr *tmp;

ifap = &ifa->ifa_dev->ifa_list;
tmp = rtnl_dereference(*ifap);
while (tmp) {
   tmp = rtnl_dereference(tmp->ifa_next); // Bogus
   if (rtnl_dereference(*ifap) == ifa) {
     ...
   ifap = &tmp->ifa_next;		// Can be NULL
   tmp = rtnl_dereference(*ifap);	// Dereference
   }
}

Remove the bogus assigment/list entry skip.

Fixes: 2638eb8b50cf ("net: ipv4: provide __rcu annotation for ifa_list")
