{"id":"CVE-2024-35886","summary":"ipv6: Fix infinite recursion in fib6_dump_done().","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nipv6: Fix infinite recursion in fib6_dump_done().\n\nsyzkaller reported infinite recursive calls of fib6_dump_done() during\nnetlink socket destruction.  [1]\n\nFrom the log, syzkaller sent an AF_UNSPEC RTM_GETROUTE message, and then\nthe response was generated.  The following recvmmsg() resumed the dump\nfor IPv6, but the first call of inet6_dump_fib() failed at kzalloc() due\nto the fault injection.  [0]\n\n  12:01:34 executing program 3:\n  r0 = socket$nl_route(0x10, 0x3, 0x0)\n  sendmsg$nl_route(r0, ... snip ...)\n  recvmmsg(r0, ... snip ...) (fail_nth: 8)\n\nHere, fib6_dump_done() was set to nlk_sk(sk)-\u003ecb.done, and the next call\nof inet6_dump_fib() set it to nlk_sk(sk)-\u003ecb.args[3].  syzkaller stopped\nreceiving the response halfway through, and finally netlink_sock_destruct()\ncalled nlk_sk(sk)-\u003ecb.done().\n\nfib6_dump_done() calls fib6_dump_end() and nlk_sk(sk)-\u003ecb.done() if it\nis still not NULL.  fib6_dump_end() rewrites nlk_sk(sk)-\u003ecb.done() by\nnlk_sk(sk)-\u003ecb.args[3], but it has the same function, not NULL, calling\nitself recursively and hitting the stack guard page.\n\nTo avoid the issue, let's set the destructor after kzalloc().\n\n[0]:\nFAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure.\nname failslab, interval 1, probability 0, space 0, times 0\nCPU: 1 PID: 432110 Comm: syz-executor.3
