Subject: [PATCH net v1] fou: Fix use-after-free in fou_create()
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:38:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722083858.182506-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>
fou_create() publishes struct fou through sk_user_data before adding the
new FOU port to the per-netns list. If fou_add_to_port_list() fails,
the error path frees fou while it is still reachable through
sk_user_data. A concurrent receive can then dereference the freed
object in fou_from_sock().
This ordering issue was previously noted in the linked discussion.
The failure is reachable when local port 0 is requested. Each socket
binds to a different ephemeral port, but fou_cfg_cmp() compares the
requested port 0 and reports -EALREADY once an entry already exists.
Release the tunnel socket before freeing fou so sk_user_data is cleared
first, and defer reclamation with kfree_rcu() to protect concurrent RCU
readers. This matches the lifetime handling in fou_release().
Fixes: 23461551c006 ("fou: Support for foo-over-udp RX path")
