genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() reuses the global family->attrbuf
when family->parallel_ops is false. However, family->attrbuf is not
protected by any lock on the genl_family_rcv_msg_doit() code path.
This leads to several different consequences, one of them is UAF,
like the following:
genl_family_rcv_msg_doit(): genl_start():
genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse()
attrbuf = family->attrbuf
__nlmsg_parse(attrbuf);
genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse()
attrbuf = family->attrbuf
__nlmsg_parse(attrbuf);
info->attrs = attrs;
cb->data = info;
netlink_unicast_kernel():
consume_skb()
genl_lock_dumpit():
genl_dumpit_info(cb)->attrs
Note family->attrbuf is an array of pointers to the skb data, once
the skb is freed, any dereference of family->attrbuf will be a UAF.
Maybe we could serialize the family->attrbuf with genl_mutex too, but
that would make the locking more complicated. Instead, we can just get
rid of family->attrbuf and always allocate attrbuf from heap like the
family->parallel_ops==true code path. This may add some performance
overhead but comparing with taking the global genl_mutex, it still
looks better.

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.
