NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf package and not the libperf package as distributed by Centos.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mpls: add seqcount to protect the platform_label{,s} pair

The RCU-protected codepaths (mpls_forward, mpls_dump_routes) can have an inconsistent view of platform_labels vs platform_label in case of a concurrent resize (resize_platform_label_table, under platform_mutex). This can lead to OOB accesses.

This patch adds a seqcount, so that we get a consistent snapshot.

Note that mpls_label_ok is also susceptible to this, so the check against RTA_DST in rtm_to_route_config, done outside platform_mutex, is not sufficient. This value gets passed to mpls_label_ok once more in both mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del, so there is no issue, but that additional check must not be removed.
