Subject: [PATCH V2] netrom: Prevent race conditions between multiple add route
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 19:02:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251020110244.3200311-1-lizhi.xu@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aPYKgFTIroUhJAJA@stanley.mountain>

The root cause of the problem is that multiple different tasks initiate
NETROM_NODE commands to add new routes, there is no lock between them to
protect the same nr_neigh.
Task0 may add the nr_neigh.refcount value of 1 on Task1 to routes[2].

When Task2 executes nr_neigh_put(nr_node->routes[2].neighbour), it will
release the neighbour because its refcount value is 1.

In this case, the following situation causes a UAF:

Task0					Task1						Task2
=====					=====						=====
nr_add_node()
nr_neigh_get_dev()			nr_add_node()
					nr_node_lock()
					nr_node->routes[2].neighbour->count--
					nr_neigh_put(nr_node->routes[2].neighbour);
					nr_remove_neigh(nr_node->routes[2].neighbour)
					nr_node_unlock()
nr_node_lock()
nr_node->routes[2].neighbour = nr_neigh
nr_neigh_hold(nr_neigh);								nr_add_node()
											nr_neigh_put()

The solution to the problem is to use a lock to synchronize each add a route
to node.
