Subject: [PATCH 6.18 47/52] rose: hold a reference on incoming sockets queued for accept()
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 17:54:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017155106.356685135@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017155104.830766652@linuxfoundation.org>
6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bernard Pidoux <bernard.f6bvp@gmail.com>
commit 6b0223a4795f5db52dee038a7a29e9906122b0f7 upstream.
rose_rx_call_request() creates the socket for an incoming call and
queues the call's skb on the listening socket with skb->sk pointing at
it, without taking a reference. If the caller clears the call before
it is accepted, rose_disconnect() leaves that socket in STATE_0 with
SOCK_DEAD set, and since commit "rose: release netdev ref and destroy
orphaned incoming sockets" rose_heartbeat_expiry() reaps such orphaned
sockets and frees them. The skb stays on the listener's queue, so:
- closing the listener makes rose_destroy_socket() walk its queue and
set flags and restart the heartbeat on the freed socket;
- accept() can hand the freed socket to user space.
On a live node running a KASAN kernel, stopping the FPAC daemons shortly
after a local (loopback) call had been set up and dropped gave:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in rose_destroy_socket+0x24a/0x570 [rose]
Write of size 8 ... by task fpacwpd
rose_destroy_socket
rose_release
Allocated by task 0: ... rose_rx_call_request <- rose_loopback_timer
Freed by task ...: ... sk_free <- rose_heartbeat_expiry
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
rose_start_heartbeat <- rose_destroy_socket <- rose_release
followed a few seconds later by a page fault in the re-armed heartbeat
and a kernel panic.
Make the listener's queue own a reference on each pending socket,
taken when the call is queued and dropped by rose_accept() or by the
listener's rose_destroy_socket() once the skb is off the queue. Have
the heartbeat set SOCK_DESTROY under the socket lock before reaping a
dead socket, as the other reaping paths already do, and make both
consumers check it under the child's lock: rose_accept() skips a
reaped socket and waits for the next call, and rose_destroy_socket()
no longer re-arms the heartbeat of a socket that is gone.
