Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: bla: only purge non-released claims
When batadv_bla_purge_claims() goes through the list of claims, it is only
traversing the hash list with an rcu_read_lock(). Due to a potential
parallel batadv_claim_put(), it can happen that it encounters a claim which
was actually in the process of being released+freed by
batadv_claim_release(). In this case, backbone_gw is set to NULL before the
delayed RCU kfree is started. Calling batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw() is
then no longer allowed because it would cause a NULL-ptr derefence.
To avoid this, only claims with a valid reference counter must be purged.
All others are already taken care of.
