Fix Version: 10.21.20.20
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.
When fw_change() is called on an existing filter, the whole tcf_result struct is always copied into the new instance of the filter. This causes a problem when updating a filter bound to a class, as tcf_unbind_filter() is always called on the old instance in the success path, decreasing filter_cnt of the still referenced class and allowing it to be deleted, leading to a use-after-free.
We recommend upgrading past commit 76e42ae831991c828cffa8c37736ebfb831ad5ec.
