Subject: [PATCH 1/1] l2tp: pppol2tp: hold reference to session in pppol2tp_ioctl()
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 14:48:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520134837.2780050-1-lee@kernel.org> (raw)

pppol2tp_ioctl() read sock->sk->sk_user_data directly without any locks
or reference counting.  If a controllable sleep was induced during
copy_from_user() (e.g. via a userfaultfd page fault sleep), a concurrent
socket close could trigger pppol2tp_session_close() asynchronously.  This
frees the l2tp_session structure via the l2tp_session_del_work workqueue.
Upon resuming, the ioctl thread dereferences the stale session pointer,
resulting in a Use-After-Free (UAF).

Fix this by securely fetching the session reference using the RCU-safe,
refcounted helper pppol2tp_sock_to_session(sk) on entry.  This locks the
session's refcount across the sleep.  We structured the function to exit
via standard err breaks, guaranteeing that l2tp_session_put() is cleanly
called on all return paths to drop the reference.
