On IPv4 the peer is cleared,\nso a match would need a zero source address as well, which the routing\nlayer rejects as martian. The stale sk_v6_daddr is a separate defect, not\naddressed here; removing the entry closes this path either way.\n\nThe entry can also be relocated. __udp_disconnect() clears sk_bound_dev_if,\nso a subsequent SO_BINDTODEVICE calls ->rehash(), and because the receive\naddress is still specific udp_lib_rehash() moves the entry instead of\nremoving it, into the bucket that (rcv_saddr, num, 0, 0) hashes to -- a\npure function of the address and port, so every socket reaching this state\non one address and port collects in one bucket. The bucket cannot be chosen\nfrom outside, as udp_ehashfn() is seeded with a per-boot secret. This last\none became reachable only with commit 644f9108f3a5 (\"udp: Make rehash4\nindependent in udp_lib_rehash()\"), which moved the hash4 handling out of a\nbranch a disconnected socket does not take; the stale entry itself dates\nfrom the commit in Fixes.\n\nTake the socket out of the table before __udp_disconnect() runs, while it\nstill matches how it was filed. This also reaches the wildcard case ahead\nof udp_lib_rehash()'s udp_unhash4() branch, leaving that branch unreachable\nfrom udp_disconnect(); removing it belongs in net-next. udp_disconnect()\nand udp_abort() are the only UDP entries into __udp_disconnect(), which is\nshared with raw, ping and l2tp sockets that are not struct udp_sock:\nping_prot.obj_size is sizeof(struct inet_sock), so udp_hashed4() on one\nwould read past the allocation.", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "78c91ae2c6deb5d236a5a93ff2995cdd05514380", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "c21daf37d5ce9a4e234b7c42238ac1e6041e28e4" }, { "version": "78c91ae2c6deb5d236a5a93ff2995cdd05514380", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "d1b5fd969cc53f29d02b82b05a45135de4a6087a" }, { "version": "78c91ae2c6deb5d236a5a93ff2995cdd05514380", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "9e95b1a94c9c49b4ba722251bbca2759b9c51737" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "6.13", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "6.13" }, { "version": "6.18.55", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*" }, { "version": "7.2.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*" }, { "version": "7.3", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
