[PATCH net 0/2] l2tp: fix some races in session deletion

From: Guillaume Nault <hidden>
Date: 2017-09-22 13:39:31

L2TP provides several interfaces for deleting sessions. Using two of
them concurrently can lead to use-after-free bugs.

Patch #2 uses a flag to prevent double removal of L2TP sessions.
Patch #1 fixes a bug found in the way. Fixing this bug is also
necessary for patch #2 to handle all cases.


This issue is similar to the tunnel deletion bug being worked on by
Sabrina: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/814173/

Guillaume Nault (2):
  l2tp: ensure sessions are freed after their PPPOL2TP socket
  l2tp: fix race between l2tp_session_delete() and
    l2tp_tunnel_closeall()
