Subject: [PATCH net v2 5/8] tcp: do not inherit out_of_order_queue from parent
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:32:49 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824033331.1084971-6-imv4bel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260824033331.1084971-1-imv4bel@gmail.com>

A child gets a copy of the parent's out_of_order_queue, which can be non
empty when/if parent morphs from listener to active session. Parent and
child then point at the same rbtree.

The parent is no longer a listener, so inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add() forgets
the child immediately, and tcp_disconnect() frees the skbs the parent
still owns. The parent's own root and ooo_last_skb are left alone, so it
keeps using those skbs. That is a use-after-free, and the parent frees
them a second time when it closes.

In short:

  peers                               the socket owner

                                      socket(AF_INET6)
                                      setsockopt(TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT, 30)
                                      bind(), listen()
  connect(the listener)
      // bare ACK deferred, the request stays
                                      connect(AF_UNSPEC)
                                      connect(the new peer)
  send(the new connection)
      // it starts one byte past rcv_nxt, so it lands out of order
      tcp_data_queue()
        tcp_data_queue_ofo()  // the parent's queue fills up
  send(the old connection)
      tcp_check_req()
        tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()
          tcp_create_openreq_child()  // the child gets the same rbtree
        inet_csk_complete_hashdance()
          inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add()
            inet_child_forget()
              tcp_disconnect()
                skb_rbtree_purge()  // the parent's skbs are freed
  send(the new connection)
      tcp_data_queue()
        tcp_data_queue_ofo()
          rb_link_node()  // use-after-free write

KASAN log:

  The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888012ad5400
   which belongs to the cache skbuff_head_cache of size 232
  The buggy address is located 8 bytes inside of
   freed 232-byte region [ffff888012ad5400, ffff888012ad54e8)

We need to make sure this can not happen, by initializing the queue after
socket cloning.

Very similar to commit 8b485ce69876 ("tcp: do not inherit fastopen_req
from parent")

Fixes: 9f5afeae5152 ("tcp: use an RB tree for ooo receive queue")
