Summary
[none]
Details

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

gtp: Destroy device along with udp socket's netns dismantle.

gtpnewlink() links the device to a list in devnet(dev) instead of src_net, where a udp tunnel socket is created.

Even when srcnet is removed, the device stays alive on devnet(dev). Then, removing src_net triggers the splat below. [0]

In this example, gtp0 is created in ns2, and the udp socket is created in ns1.

ip netns add ns1 ip netns add ns2 ip -n ns1 link add netns ns2 name gtp0 type gtp role sgsn ip netns del ns1

Let's link the device to the socket's netns instead.

Now, gtpnetexitbatchrtnl() needs another netdev iteration to remove all gtp devices in the netns.
