Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] sctp: copy zeroed stats to user in sctp_getsockopt_pr_streamstatus() when !streamoute
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 04:46:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930044611.204739-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)

When an SCTP stream output extension structure (streamoute) has not yet
been allocated, sctp_getsockopt_pr_streamstatus() sets the local stack
variables params.sprstat_abandoned_unsent = 0 and
params.sprstat_abandoned_sent = 0, but then immediately jumps to 'out:',
bypassing copy_to_user(). As a result, when an uninitialized user buffer
is passed to getsockopt(SCTP_PR_STREAM_STATUS), the kernel returns
success (0) without copying the zeroed stats back to user space, leaving
uninitialized data in the user buffer.

Refactor the !streamoute check into an if-else chain so that when
streamoute is NULL, params is zeroed and falls through to copy_to_user(),
copying the zeroed stats to user space and setting retval = 0 once before
returning.

Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 using an uninitialized
sctp_prstatus user struct passed to getsockopt(SCTP_PR_STREAM_STATUS) on a
freshly created stream: on the unfixed kernel the user struct contains
uninitialized stack garbage; whereas with this fix applied, getsockopt()
copies zeroed stats into user space and returns 0.

Changes in v2:
- Re-target subject tag to [PATCH net-next v2].
- Remove redundant retval = 0 assignment in !streamoute block and fall
  through to copy_to_user() as suggested by Paolo Abeni and Xin Long.
