[buggy commit]:
d8647b79c3b7 ("xfrm: Add user interface for esn and big anti-replay windows")
[root cause]:
x->replay_esn and x->preplay_esn should be allocated at xfrm_alloc_replay_state_esn(...) in xfrm_state_construct(..), and then the xfrm_update_ae_params(...) is okay to update them. However, the current implementation allows a malicious user to directly dereference the pointer and crash the kernel like above.
[PoC code]:
see attachment poc1.c. I have tested it in ubuntu 22.04 and latest Linux with QEMU.
[suggest fix]:
Add NULL check in xfrm_update_ae_params() like below:
@@ -628,7 +628,7 @@ static void xfrm_update_ae_params(struct xfrm_state *x, struct nlattr **attrs,
struct nlattr *rt = attrs[XFRMA_REPLAY_THRESH];
struct nlattr *mt = attrs[XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH];
- if (re) {
+ if (re && x->replay_esn && x->preplay_esn) {
struct xfrm_replay_state_esn *replay_esn;
[fix status]:
