In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: revalidate bridge ports
ebt_redirect_tg() dereferences br_port_get_rcu() return without a
NULL check, causing a kernel panic when the bridge port has been
removed between the original hook invocation and an NFQUEUE
reinject.
A mere NULL check isn't sufficient, however. As sashiko review
points out userspace can not only remove the port from the bridge,
it could also place the device in a different virtual device, e.g.
macvlan.
If this happens, we must drop the packet, there is no way for us to
reinject it into the bridge path.
Switch to _upper API, we don't need the bridge port structure.
Also, this fix keeps another bug intact:
Both nfnetlink_log and nfnetlink_queue use CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER
too aggressive, which prevents certain logging features when queueing
in bridge family: NETFILTER_FAMILY_BRIDGE can be enabled while the old
CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER cruft is off.
Fixes tag is a common ancestor, this was always broken.
