When resizing the conntrack hash table at runtime via echo 42 > /sys/module/nf_conntrack/parameters/hashsize, we are racing with the conntrack lookup path -- reads can happen in parallel and nothing prevents readers from observing a the newly allocated hash but the old size (or vice versa). So access to hash[bucket] can trigger OOB read access in case the table got expanded and we saw the new size but the old hash pointer (or it got shrunk and we got new hash ptr but the size of the old and larger table): kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN CPU: 0 PID: 3 Comm: ksoftirqd/0 Not tainted 4.6.0-rc2+ #107 [..] Call Trace: [<ffffffff822c3d6a>] ? nf_conntrack_tuple_taken+0x12a/0xe90 [<ffffffff822c3ac1>] ? nf_ct_invert_tuplepr+0x221/0x3a0 [<ffffffff8230e703>] get_unique_tuple+0xfb3/0x2760 Use generation counter to obtain the address/length of the same table. Also add a synchronize_net before freeing the old hash. AFAICS, without it we might access ct_hash[bucket] after ct_hash has been freed, provided that lockless reader got delayed by another event: CPU1 CPU2 seq_begin seq_retry <delay> resize occurs free oldhash for_each(oldhash[size]) Note that resize is only supported in init_netns, it took over 2 minutes of constant resizing+flooding to produce the warning, so this isn't a big problem in practice.
