CVE Details

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nwireguard: netlink: check for dangling peer via is_dead instead of empty list\nIf all peers are removed via wg_peer_remove_all(), rather than setting\npeer_list to empty, the peer is added to a temporary list with a head on\nthe stack of wg_peer_remove_all(). If a netlink dump is resumed and the\ncursored peer is one that has been removed via wg_peer_remove_all(), it\nwill iterate from that peer and then attempt to dump freed peers.\nFix this by instead checking peer->is_dead, which was explictly created\nfor this purpose. Also move up the device_update_lock lockdep assertion,\nsince reading is_dead relies on that.\nIt can be reproduced by a small script like:\necho 'Setting config...'\nip link add dev wg0 type wireguard\nwg setconf wg0 /big-config\n(\nwhile true; do\necho 'Showing config...'\nwg showconf wg0 > /dev/null\ndone\n) &\nsleep 4\nwg setconf wg0 <(printf '[Peer]\nPublicKey=\n')\nResulting in:\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __lock_acquire+0x182a/0x1b20\nRead of size 8 at addr ffff88811956ec70 by task wg/59\nCPU: 2 PID: 59 Comm: wg Not tainted 6.8.0-rc2-debug+ #5\nCall Trace:\n
