[ Upstream commit 4e0f718daf97d47cf7dec122da1be970f145c809 ]
The previous commit 1ade48d0c27d ("ax25: NPD bug when detaching
AX25 device") introduce lock_sock() into ax25_kill_by_device to
prevent NPD bug. But the concurrency NPD or UAF bug will occur,
when lock_sock() or release_sock() dereferences the ax25_cb->sock.
The NULL pointer dereference bug can be shown as below:
ax25_kill_by_device() | ax25_release()
| ax25_destroy_socket()
| ax25_cb_del()
... | ...
| ax25->sk=NULL;
lock_sock(s->sk); //(1) |
s->ax25_dev = NULL; | ...
release_sock(s->sk); //(2) |
... |
The root cause is that the sock is set to null before dereference
site (1) or (2). Therefore, this patch extracts the ax25_cb->sock
in advance, and uses ax25_list_lock to protect it, which can synchronize
with ax25_cb_del() and ensure the value of sock is not null before
dereference sites.
The concurrency UAF bug can be shown as below:
ax25_kill_by_device() | ax25_release()
| ax25_destroy_socket()
... | ...
| sock_put(sk); //FREE
lock_sock(s->sk); //(1) |
s->ax25_dev = NULL; | ...
release_sock(s->sk); //(2) |
... |
The root cause is that the sock is released before dereference
site (1) or (2). Therefore, this patch uses sock_hold() to increase
the refcount of sock and uses ax25_list_lock to protect it, which
can synchronize with ax25_cb_del() in ax25_destroy_socket() and
ensure the sock wil not be released before dereference sites.
