CVE-2024-47734: bonding: Fix unnecessary warnings and logs from bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave()

First published: Mon Oct 21 2024(Updated: )

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bonding: Fix unnecessary warnings and logs from bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave() syzbot reported a WARNING in bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave. To reproduce this[1], one bond device (bond1) has xdpdrv, which increases bpf_master_redirect_enabled_key. Another bond device (bond0) which is unsupported by XDP but its slave (veth3) has xdpgeneric that returns XDP_TX. This triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() from the xdp_master_redirect(). To reduce unnecessary warnings and improve log management, we need to delete the WARN_ON_ONCE() and add ratelimit to the netdev_err(). [1] Steps to reproduce: # Needs tx_xdp with return XDP_TX; ip l add veth0 type veth peer veth1 ip l add veth3 type veth peer veth4 ip l add bond0 type bond mode 6 # BOND_MODE_ALB, unsupported by XDP ip l add bond1 type bond # BOND_MODE_ROUNDROBIN by default ip l set veth0 master bond1 ip l set bond1 up # Increases bpf_master_redirect_enabled_key ip l set dev bond1 xdpdrv object tx_xdp.o section xdp_tx ip l set veth3 master bond0 ip l set bond0 up ip l set veth4 up # Triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() from the xdp_master_redirect() ip l set veth3 xdpgeneric object tx_xdp.o section xdp_tx
