Subject: [PATCH net] tcp: fix use after free in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()
|
|
|
7736186 |
|
|
|
7736186 |
When tcp_sendmsg() allocates a fresh and empty skb, it puts it at the
|
|
|
7736186 |
tail of the write queue using tcp_add_write_queue_tail()
|
|
|
7736186 |
|
|
|
7736186 |
Then it attempts to copy user data into this fresh skb.
|
|
|
7736186 |
|
|
|
7736186 |
If the copy fails, we undo the work and remove the fresh skb.
|
|
|
7736186 |
|
|
|
7736186 |
Unfortunately, this undo lacks the change done to tp->highest_sack and
|
|
|
7736186 |
we can leave a dangling pointer (to a freed skb)
|
|
|
7736186 |
|
|
|
7736186 |
Later, tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() can dereference this pointer and
|
|
|
7736186 |
access freed memory. For regular kernels where memory is not unmapped,
|
|
|
7736186 |
this might cause SACK bugs because tcp_highest_sack_seq() is buggy,
|
|
|
7736186 |
returning garbage instead of tp->snd_nxt, but with various debug
|
|
|
7736186 |
features like CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, this can crash the kernel.
|
|
|

This bug was found by Marco Grassi thanks to syzkaller.
