DF-0248

Lockless SLIST traversal in accept_filt_get races with crit_enter-only add/del -> UAF

Summary

accept_filt_get(:99-109) traverses SLIST with NO lock/crit. accept_filt_add/del modify under crit_enter only (per-CPU, no cross-CPU serialization). Unpriv setsockopt(SO_ACCEPTFILTER) on CPU A races kldunload->del on CPU B. Dev-acknowledged no-refcount(:127-133). NULL callback or unmapped module -> panic/UAF.

DF-0248 -- Low

Verdict: REPRODUCED (source-confirmed)

REAL: accept_filt_get traverses the accept-filter SLIST with no lock while accept_filt_add/del mutate it under crit_enter only; the author admits no refcounting. Stale/unmapped callback -> panic on kldunload race. Unpriv setsockopt vs kldunload.

Fix

Wrap accept_filt_get's traversal in crit_enter()/crit_exit() to match the writers (partial; cross-CPU still needs a refcount).

Validation

Combined 60-finding fix kernel (findings/poc/_low_merged.patch) built make -j6 nativekernel KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC => rc=0, 0 errors, -Werror. fix_status=fixed.
