What to Know

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

bridge: mcast: Fix a possible use-after-free when removing a bridge port

When per-VLAN multicast snooping is enabled, the bridge iterates over

all the bridge ports, disables the per-port multicast context on each

port and enables the per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts instead. The

reverse happens when per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled.

When global multicast snooping is enabled, the bridge iterates over all

the bridge ports and enables the per-port multicast context on each

port. The reverse happens when multicast snooping is disabled.

The above scheme can result in a situation where both types of contexts

(per-port and per-{port, VLAN}) are enabled on a single bridge port:

# ip link add name br1 up type bridge mcast_snooping 1 mcast_querier 1 vlan_filtering 1

# ip link add name dummy1 up master br1 type dummy

# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 1

# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_snooping 0

# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_snooping 1

This is not intended and it is a problem since the commit cited below.

Prior to this commit, when removing a bridge port,

br_multicast_disable_port() would disable the per-port multicast context

and the per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts would get disabled when

flushing VLANs.

After this commit, br_multicast_disable_port() only disables the

per-port multicast context if per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled.

If both types of contexts were enabled on the port when it was removed,

the per-port multicast context would remain enabled when freeing the

bridge port, leading to a use-after-free [1].

Fix by preventing the bridge from enabling / disabling the per-port

multicast contexts when toggling global multicast snooping if per-VLAN

multicast snooping is enabled.
