Detail

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: fix UaF in netns ops registration error path

If net_assign_generic() fails, the current error path in ops_init() tries to clear the gen pointer slot. Anyway, in such error path, the gen pointer itself has not been modified yet, and the existing and accessed one is smaller than the accessed index, causing an out-of-bounds error:

This change addresses the issue by skipping the gen pointer de-reference in the mentioned error-path.

Found by code inspection and verified with explicit error injection on a kasan-enabled kernel.
