Florian Westphal ad88b7a6aa netfilter: ecache: don't look for ecache extension on dying/unconfirmed conntracks
syzbot reported following splat:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __nf_ct_ext_exist
include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_extend.h:53 [inline]

While there is no reproducer yet, the syzbot report contains one
interesting bit of information:

 nf_confirm+0x3e7/0x4d0 net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.c:154

This is whats happening:

1. a conntrack entry is about to be confirmed (added to hash table).
2. a clash with existing entry is detected.
3. nf_ct_resolve_clash() puts skb->nfct (the "losing" entry).
4. this entry now has a refcount of 0 and is freed to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU
   kmem cache.

skb->nfct has been replaced by the one found in the hash.
Problem is that nf_conntrack_confirm() uses the old ct:

static inline int nf_conntrack_confirm(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
 struct nf_conn *ct = (struct nf_conn *)skb_nfct(skb);
 int ret = NF_ACCEPT;

  if (ct) {
    if (!nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct))
       ret = __nf_conntrack_confirm(skb);
    if (likely(ret == NF_ACCEPT))
	nf_ct_deliver_cached_events(ct); /* This ct has refcount 0! */
  }
  return ret;
}

As of "netfilter: conntrack: free extension area immediately", we can't
access conntrack extensions in this case.

To fix this, make sure we check the dying bit presence before attempting
to get the eache extension.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
