Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/2] tcp: fix use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt(TCP_CC_INFO)
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 13:13:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826171344.4133-3-blbllhy@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826171344.4133-1-blbllhy@gmail.com>

From: "Cen Zhang (Microsoft Security FORGE Labs)" <blbllhy@gmail.com>

do_tcp_getsockopt() reads icsk->icsk_ca_ops and dereferences the
get_info function pointer without rcu_read_lock(). With BPF struct_ops
congestion control, ca_ops can point to dynamically allocated memory
that is freed concurrently, resulting in a use-after-free when the
kernel dereferences or calls through the stale pointer.

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt+0x2037/0x23e0
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888013701258 by task exploit/149
   do_tcp_getsockopt+0x2037/0x23e0 (net/ipv4/tcp.c:4564)
   tcp_getsockopt+0x91/0xf0
   __sys_getsockopt+0xf7/0x170

Fix this by wrapping the ca_ops load and get_info call within
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock(), and using READ_ONCE() to load
the icsk_ca_ops pointer.
