From: Luis Henriques
Date: Fri Dec 06 2013 - 08:27:41 EST


3.11.10.1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: =?UTF-8?q?Michal=20Kube=C4=8Dek?= <mkubecek@xxxxxxx>

commit c13a84a830a208fb3443628773c8ca0557773cc7 upstream.

Commit 68b80f11 (netfilter: nf_nat: fix RCU races) introduced
RCU protection for freeing extension data when reallocation
moves them to a new location. We need the same protection when
freeing them in nf_ct_ext_free() in order to prevent a
use-after-free by other threads referencing a NAT extension data
via bysource list.
