In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
team: fix header_ops type confusion with non-Ethernet ports
Similar to commit 950803f72547 ("bonding: fix type confusion in
bond_setup_by_slave()") team has the same class of header_ops type
confusion.
For non-Ethernet ports, team_setup_by_port() copies port_dev->header_ops
directly. When the team device later calls dev_hard_header() or
dev_parse_header(), these callbacks can run with the team net_device
instead of the real lower device, so netdev_priv(dev) is interpreted as
the wrong private type and can crash.
The syzbot report shows a crash in bond_header_create(), but the root
cause is in team: the topology is gre -> bond -> team, and team calls
the inherited header_ops with its own net_device instead of the lower
device, so bond_header_create() receives a team device and interprets
netdev_priv() as bonding private data, causing a type confusion crash.
Fix this by introducing team header_ops wrappers for create/parse,
selecting a team port under RCU, and calling the lower device callbacks
with port->dev, so each callback always sees the correct net_device
context.
Also pass the selected lower device to the lower parse callback, so
recursion is bounded in stacked non-Ethernet topologies and parse
callbacks always run with the correct device context.EnginsightAwaiting analysis
