Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/tap: fix crash from unitialized memory in rte_flow_destroy
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2020 14:39:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200427213926.12306-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

The TAP driver does not initialize all the elements of the rte_flow
structure. This can lead to crash in rte_flow_destroy.

(gdb) where
    flow=0x100e99280, error=0x0)
    at drivers/net/tap/tap_flow.c:1514

(gdb) p remote_flow
$1 = (struct rte_flow *) 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b

Which is here:
static int
tap_flow_destroy_pmd(struct pmd_internals *pmd,
		     struct rte_flow *flow,
		     struct rte_flow_error *error)
{
	struct rte_flow *remote_flow = flow->remote_flow;
...
	if (remote_flow) {
		remote_flow->msg.nh.nlmsg_flags = NLM_F_REQUEST | NLM_F_ACK;

Simplest fix is to use rte_zmalloc() so remote_flow and other fields
are always set at zero.

Fixes: 2bc06869cd94 ("net/tap: add remote netdevice traffic capture")
