Overview

Technical description

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

net: bonding: fix use-after-free after 802.3ad slave unbind

commit 0622cab0341c ("bonding: fix 802.3ad aggregator reselection"),

resolve case, when there is several aggregation groups in the same bond.

bond_3ad_unbind_slave will invalidate (clear) aggregator when

__agg_active_ports return zero. So, ad_clear_agg can be executed even, when

num_of_ports!=0. Than bond_3ad_unbind_slave can be executed again for,

previously cleared aggregator. NOTE: at this time bond_3ad_unbind_slave

will not update slave ports list, because lag_ports==NULL. So, here we

got slave ports, pointing to freed aggregator memory.

Fix with checking actual number of ports in group (as was before

commit 0622cab0341c ("bonding: fix 802.3ad aggregator reselection") ),

before ad_clear_agg().
