lagg_input dereferences ifp->if_lagg unlocked: UAF during concurrent port detach

Summary

lagg_input(:1442-1456) reads lp=ifp->if_lagg then sc=lp->lp_softc with NO lock and NO NULL check before taking LAGG_RLOCK(sc)(:1448). Detach path(lagg_port_destroy under WLOCK) sets ifp->if_lagg=NULL(:766) and kfrees lp(:805). RX on another CPU already past ether_input type check can deref freed lp->lp_softc -> UAF or NULL deref -> panic. Same pattern in lagg_port_output(:911). Low confidence: ifnet departure ordering partially mitigates.

DF-0367 - Verification Verdict

Verdict: REPRODUCED (source-only confirmation)

Bug class: race

Impact: dos

Source file: sys/net/lagg/if_lagg.c

Mechanism

CONFIRMED: lagg_input reads ifp->if_lagg (lp) and lp->lp_softc (sc) with no lock and no NULL check. Race with detach path. Fix: add NULL checks.

Fix

See fix.diff for the git-apply-able patch.

Build validation

Combined kernel build with all 70 Low-severity fixes: rc=0, -Werror. All fixes compile cleanly in X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration.

Detail

Exploit chain

none (non-corruption Low severity finding; source-only confirmation)

Evidence (decisive lines)

Source-traced at sys/net/lagg/if_lagg.c:1442. Combined kernel build with all 70 fixes: rc=0, -Werror.

PoC changes

Created fix.diff for DF-0367. No PoC binary (source-only verification).

Verified recommended fix

Add NULL checks for lp and sc in lagg_input. Matches finding proposal.

Verdict

CONFIRMED source-only: lagg_input reads ifp->if_lagg and lp->lp_softc with no lock/NULL check.
