Subject: [PATCH] net: do not release sk in sk_wait_event
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2024 16:49:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240815084907.167870-1-sunyiqixm@gmail.com> (raw)

When investigating the kcm socket UAF which is also found by syzbot,
I found that the root cause of this problem is actually in
sk_wait_event.

In sk_wait_event, sk is released and relocked and called by
sk_stream_wait_memory. Protocols like tcp, kcm, etc., called it in some
ops function like *sendmsg which will lock the sk at the beginning.
But sk_stream_wait_memory releases sk unexpectedly and destroy
the thread safety. Finally it causes the kcm sk UAF.

If at the time when a thread(thread A) calls sk_stream_wait_memory
and the other thread(thread B) is waiting for lock in lock_sock,
thread B will successfully get the sk lock as thread A release sk lock
in sk_wait_event.

The thread B may change the sk which is not thread A expecting.

As a result, it will lead kernel to the unexpected behavior. Just like
the kcm sk UAF, which is actually cause by sk_wait_event in
sk_stream_wait_memory.

Previous commit d9dc8b0f8b4e ("net: fix sleeping for sk_wait_event()")
in 2016 seems do not solved this problem. Is it necessary to release
sock in sk_wait_event? Or just delete it to make the protocol ops
thread-secure.
