When hrtimer_cancel() is called for a soft timer that is\ncurrently executing on another CPU, hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() spins\non softirq_expiry_lock -- the same lock held by the softirq running the\ncallback. If the callback is blocked waiting for the spinlock held by\nthe caller of hrtimer_cancel(), a circular dependency forms:\n\n CPU 0: holds lock_A -> waits for softirq_expiry_lock\n CPU 1: holds softirq_expiry_lock -> waits for lock_A\n\nFix by calling hrtimer_cancel() before acquiring the respective locks.\nhrtimer_cancel() is safe to call without holding any lock and will wait\nfor any in-progress callback to complete. For the output timer, the\nlock is still acquired afterwards to drain the packet queue. For the\ndrop timer, the lock/unlock pair is removed entirely since it only\nexisted to serialize with the timer callback, which hrtimer_cancel()\nalready guarantees.\n\nFound by source code audit."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4b3faf610cc63bfac972711635eafbca5e7d7117", "lessThan": "a13ca53e47e500854a3b9ec18b5dc83acfec863e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4b3faf610cc63bfac972711635eafbca5e7d7117", "lessThan": "822b98d354e63e8249e85473c5f3c519f3c9cecc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4b3faf610cc63bfac972711635eafbca5e7d7117", "lessThan": "c8a8a75b733467b00c08b91a38dbaf207a08ed6e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/xfrm/xfrm_iptfs.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.14", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.14", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.36", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.0.13", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.0.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.36"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0.13"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a13ca53e47e500854a3b9ec18b5dc83acfec863e"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/822b98d354e63e8249e85473c5f3c519f3c9cecc"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c8a8a75b733467b00c08b91a38dbaf207a08ed6e"}], "title": "xfrm: iptfs: fix ABBA deadlock in iptfs_destroy_state()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
