Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_queue: hold bridge skb->dev while queued
br_pass_frame_up() rewrites skb->dev from the ingress port to the bridge
master before queueing bridge LOCAL_IN packets. NFQUEUE only holds
references on state.in/out and bridge physdevs, so a queued bridge
packet can retain a freed bridge master in skb->dev until reinjection.
When the verdict is reinjected later, br_netif_receive_skb() re-enters
the receive path with skb->dev still pointing at the freed bridge master,
triggering a use-after-free.
Store skb->dev in the queue entry, hold a reference on it for the queue
lifetime, and use the saved device when dropping queued packets during
NETDEV_DOWN handling.
