Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
在 Linux 内核中，以下漏洞已得到修复： net: mana: 预分配失败时恢复 XDP 程序指针 函数在分配任何资源之前，就会将新的 XDP 程序发布到 中，因为 需要通过 从该程序获取配置信息来设置缓冲区大小。当预分配失败时，函数直接返回错误，跳过了 标签，而该标签是唯一一处恢复之前程序指针的地方。 此时， attach 操作被报告为失败，因此 BPF 核心会释放调用者所持有的引用，允许该程序被释放，但 仍然指向已被释放的内存。随后， 的下一个使用者——通常是在下一次 时由 中的 调用，或在 TX 超时重置

Vulnerability Title
net: mana: restore the XDP program pointer when pre-allocation fails
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: restore the XDP program pointer when pre-allocation fails
mana_xdp_set() publishes the new program into apc->bpf_prog before it
allocates anything, because mana_pre_alloc_rxbufs() sizes the buffers
from it via mana_get_rxbuf_cfg(). When that allocation fails the
function returns the error directly, skipping the err_dealloc_rxbuffs
label which is the only place that restores the previous pointer.
The attach is reported as failed, so the BPF core drops the reference it
held for the caller and the program can be freed, while apc->bpf_prog
still points at it. The next consumer of mana_xdp_get() - typically
mana_chn_setxdp() from mana_alloc_queues() on the following ifup, or
after a TX timeout reset - then calls bpf_prog_add() on freed memory.
This is reachable from an ordinary "ip link set dev ethX xdp obj ..."
whenever the per-queue RX buffer pre-allocation cannot be satisfied.
Restore the previous program on that error path.
