CVE-2023-54193CVE-2023-54193
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: cls_api: remove block_cb from driver_list before freeing
Error handler of tcf_block_bind() frees the whole bo->cb_list on error.
However, by that time the flow_block_cb instances are already in the driver
list because driver ndo_setup_tc() callback is called before that up the
call chain in tcf_block_offload_cmd(). This leaves dangling pointers to
freed objects in the list and causes use-after-free[0]. Fix it by also
removing flow_block_cb instances from driver_list before deallocating them.
