[PATCH net] net/netfilter: bpf: avoid leakage of skb

From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@linux.alibaba.com>
Date: 2023-11-29 10:16:15
Also in: bpf, lkml, netfilter-devel
Subsystem: netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@linux.alibaba.com>

A malicious eBPF program can interrupt the subsequent processing of
a skb by returning an exceptional retval, and no one will be responsible
for releasing the very skb.

Moreover, normal programs can also have the demand to return NF_STOLEN,
usually, the hook needs to take responsibility for releasing this skb
itself, but currently, there is no such helper function to achieve that.
Ignoring NF_STOLEN will also lead to skb leakage.

Fixes: fd9c663b9ad6 ("bpf: minimal support for programs hooked into netfilter framework")
