Subject: [PATCH net 1/4] mptcp: fix NULL pointer in can_accept_new_subflow
Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2025 15:27:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250328-net-mptcp-misc-fixes-6-15-v1-1-34161a482a7f@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250328-net-mptcp-misc-fixes-6-15-v1-0-34161a482a7f@kernel.org>
From: Gang Yan <yangang@kylinos.cn>
When testing valkey benchmark tool with MPTCP, the kernel panics in
'mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow' because subflow_req->msk is NULL.
Call trace:
mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow (./net/mptcp/subflow.c:63 (discriminator 4)) (P)
subflow_syn_recv_sock (./net/mptcp/subflow.c:854)
tcp_check_req (./net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c:863)
tcp_v4_rcv (./net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:2268)
ip_protocol_deliver_rcu (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:207)
ip_local_deliver_finish (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:234)
ip_local_deliver (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:254)
ip_rcv_finish (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:449)
...
According to the debug log, the same req received two SYN-ACK in a very
short time, very likely because the client retransmits the syn ack due
to multiple reasons.
Even if the packets are transmitted with a relevant time interval, they
can be processed by the server on different CPUs concurrently). The
'subflow_req->msk' ownership is transferred to the subflow the first,
and there will be a risk of a null pointer dereference here.
This patch fixes this issue by moving the 'subflow_req->msk' under the
`own_req == true` conditional.
Note that the !msk check in subflow_hmac_valid() can be dropped, because
the same check already exists under the own_req mpj branch where the
code has been moved to.
Fixes: 9466a1ccebbe ("mptcp: enable JOIN requests even if cookies are in use")
