Vulnerability Summary

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

tipc: protect node reset trace dump with node lock

The tipc_node_reset_links trace event asks tipc_node_dump() to walk the
node's link entries. Unlike the other node events that request link data,
this event runs without the node lock.

This permits bearer teardown to free a link while the trace callback is
dumping it:

CPU 0 CPU 1
trace_tipc_node_reset_links()
tipc_node_dump()
l = n->links[0].link
tipc_node_write_lock()
kfree(l)
n->links[0].link = NULL
tipc_node_write_unlock()
tipc_link_dump(l)

tipc_link_dump() then dereferences the stale pointer. KASAN reported:

Take the node write lock around the trace event. This serializes the
dump against tipc_node_link_down(delete=true), which frees the link
under the same write lock.
