{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2022-48644","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  net/sched: taprio: avoid disabling offload when it was never enabled  In an incredibly strange API design decision, qdisc-\u003edestroy() gets called even if qdisc-\u003einit() never succeeded, not exclusively since commit 87b60cfacf9f (\"net_sched: fix error recovery at qdisc creation\"), but apparently also earlier (in the case of qdisc_create_dflt()).  The taprio qdisc does not fully acknowledge this when it attempts full offload, because it starts off with q-\u003eflags = TAPRIO_FLAGS_INVALID in taprio_init(), then it replaces q-\u003eflags with TCA_TAPRIO_ATTR_FLAGS parsed from netlink (in taprio_change(), tail called from taprio_init()).  But in taprio_destroy(), we call taprio_disable_offload(), and this determines what to do based on FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED(q-\u003eflags).  But looking at the implementation of FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED() (a bitwise check of bit 1 in q-\u003eflags), it is invalid to call this macro on q-\u003eflags when it contains TAPRIO_FLAGS_INVALID, because that is set to U32_MAX, and therefore FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED() will return true on an invalid set of flags.  As a result, it is possible to crash the kernel if user space forces an error between setting q-\u003eflags = TAPRIO_FLAGS_INVALID, and the calling of taprio_enable_offload(). This is because drivers do not expect the offload to be disabled when it was never enabled.  The error that we force here is to attach taprio as a non-root qdisc, but instead as child of an mqprio root qdisc:  $ tc qdisc add dev swp0 root handle 1: \\ \tmqprio num_tc 8 map 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \\ \tqueues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 1@4 1@5 1@6 1@7 hw 0 $ tc qdisc replace dev swp0 parent 1:1 \\ \ttaprio num_tc 8 map 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \\ \tqueues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 1@4 1@5 1@6 1@7 base-time 0 \\ \tsched-entry S 0x7f 990000 sched-entry S 0x80 100000 \\ \tflags 0x0 clockid CLOCK_TAI Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffffffffffff8 [fffffffffffffff8] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Call trace:  taprio_dump+0x27c/0x310  vsc9959_port_setup_tc+0x1f4/0x460  felix_port_setup_tc+0x24/0x3c  dsa_slave_setup_tc+0x54/0x27c  taprio_disable_offload.isra.0+0x58/0xe0  taprio_destroy+0x80/0x104  qdisc_create+0x240/0x470  tc_modify_qdisc+0x1fc/0x6b0  rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x12c/0x390  netlink_rcv_skb+0x5c/0x130  rtnetlink_rcv+0x1c/0x2c  Fix this by keeping track of the operations we made, and undo the offload only if we actually did it.
