sctp: hold socket lock when dumping endpoints in sctp_diag
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: hold socket lock when dumping endpoints in sctp_diag SCTP_DIAG endpoint dumping was traversing endpoint address lists without holding lock_sock(), while those lists could change concurrently via socket operations (e.g., bindx changes). This creates a race where nla_reserve() counts addresses under RCU protection, but the subsequent copy may see fewer entries, potentially leaking uninitialized memory to userspace. Fix this by: - Taking a reference on each endpoint during hash traversal - Moving socket operations (lock_sock()) outside read_lock_bh() - Serializing address list access during dump - Reworking sctp_for_each_endpoint() to support restart-based traversal with (net, pos) tracking Also: - Add WARN_ON_ONCE() for inconsistent address counts - Fix idiag_states filtering for LISTEN vs association cases - Skip dumping endpoints being freed (ep->base.dead) - Move dump position tracking into iterator, removing cb->args[4] and its comment for sctp_ep_dump()., - Update the comment for cb->args[4] and remove the comment for unused cb->args[5] for sctp_sock_dump(). Note: traversal is restart-based and may re-scan buckets multiple times, but this is acceptable due to small bucket sizes and required to support sleeping-safe callbacks. This issue was reported by Nico Yip (@_cyeaa_) working with TrendAI Zero Day Initiative.
