Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: prevent nf_skb_duplicated corruption
syzbot found that nf_dup_ipv4() or nf_dup_ipv6() could write per-cpu variable nf_skb_duplicated in an unsafe way [1].
Disabling preemption as hinted by the splat is not enough, we have to disable soft interrupts as well.
[1]
BUG: using __this_cpu_write() in preemptible [00000000] code: syz.4.282/6316
caller is nf_dup_ipv4+0x651/0x8f0 net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_dup_ipv4.c:87
