This can happen if the send\nbuffer is full, during the period when the sender thread temporarily\nreleases the socket lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf().\n\nThis causes the access to the transport data in\nsctp_outq_select_transport(), when the association outqueue is flushed,\nto result in a use-after-free read.\n\nThis change avoids this scenario by having sctp_transport_free() signal\nthe freeing of the transport, tagging it as \"dead\". In order to do this,\nthe patch restores the \"dead\" bit in struct sctp_transport, which was\nremoved in\ncommit 47faa1e4c50e (\"sctp: remove the dead field of sctp_transport\").\n\nThen, in the scenario where the sender thread has released the socket\nlock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf(), the bit is checked again after\nre-acquiring the socket lock to detect the deletion. This is done while\nholding a reference to the transport to prevent it from being freed in\nthe process.\n\nIf the transport was deleted while the socket lock was relinquished,\nsctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() will return -EAGAIN to let userspace retry the\nsend.\n\nThe bug was found by a private syzbot instance (see the error report [1]\nand the C reproducer that triggers it [2]).", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "df132eff463873e14e019a07f387b4d577d6d1f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "547762250220325d350d0917a7231480e0f4142b" }, { "version": "df132eff463873e14e019a07f387b4d577d6d1f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "3257386be6a7eb8a8bfc9cbfb746df4eb4fc70e8" }, { "version": "df132eff463873e14e019a07f387b4d577d6d1f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "0f7df4899299ce4662e5f95badb9dbc57cc37fa5" }, { "version": "df132eff463873e14e019a07f387b4d577d6d1f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "7a63f4fb0efb4e69efd990cbb740a848679ec4b0" }, { "version": "df132eff463873e14e019a07f387b4d577d6d1f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "c6fefcb71d246baaf3bacdad1af7ff50ebcfe652" }, { "version": "df132eff463873e14e019a07f387b4d577d6d1f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "9e7c37fadb3be1fc33073fcf10aa96d166caa697" }, { "version": "df132eff463873e14e019a07f387b4d577d6d1f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "5bc83bdf5f5b8010d1ca5a4555537e62413ab4e2" }, { "version": "df132eff463873e14e019a07f387b4d577d6d1f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "2e5068b7e0ae0a54f6cfd03a2f80977da657f1ee" }, { "version": "df132eff463873e14e019a07f387b4d577d6d1f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "f1a69a940de58b16e8249dff26f74c8cc59b32be" }, { "version": "26e51e5287eed4d96ea66a3da95429f42940f013", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "8b97e045bd6d37f96f161e4d371ae174148e1587", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e044554e97e812eb257d073bcc130e0ea653858f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "8376fdc999be008f0e9918db52f1ed8c08f5a1c9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "cd947138e8c31e8cfcd489c12e9b97271beb6e79", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "3.18.128", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "3.19" }, { "version": "4.4.166", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.5" }, { "version": "4.9.142", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.10" }, { "version": "4.14.85", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.15" }, { "version": "4.19.6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.20" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "4.20", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.20" }, { "version": "5.4.293", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*" }, { "version": "5.10.237", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*" }, { "version": "5.15.181", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*" }, { "version": "6.1.135", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.88", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.12.24", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.13.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.13.*" }, { "version": "6.14.3", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.14.*" }, { "version": "6.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
