Subject: CVE-2023-54193: net/sched: cls_api: remove block_cb from driver_list before freeing

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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

net/sched: cls_api: remove block_cb from driver_list before freeing

Error handler of tcf_block_bind() frees the whole bo->cb_list on error.
However, by that time the flow_block_cb instances are already in the driver
list because driver ndo_setup_tc() callback is called before that up the
call chain in tcf_block_offload_cmd(). This leaves dangling pointers to
freed objects in the list and causes use-after-free[0]. Fix it by also
removing flow_block_cb instances from driver_list before deallocating them.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
