Subject: [PATCH 6.18 023/109] ax25: read the connections ax25_dev only once when walking ax25_list
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 18:00:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028165942.910313704@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028165942.357251485@linuxfoundation.org>
6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bernard Pidoux <bernard.f6bvp@gmail.com>
ax25_kill_by_device() detaches a connection from a device that goes
down by setting s->ax25_dev to NULL. It does so after it has dropped
ax25_list_lock, while the connection is still on ax25_list.
__ax25_find_cb() and ax25_find_listener() walk that list and test
s->ax25_dev against NULL before they dereference it, but they load the
pointer a second time for the dereference. ax25_send_to_raw()
dereferences it without any test. If ax25_kill_by_device() clears the
pointer in between, the walker dereferences NULL:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]
RIP: 0010:ax25_find_cb+0x121/0x330 [ax25]
ax25_send_frame+0xdc/0x980 [ax25]
rose_send_frame+0xce/0x270 [rose]
rose_transmit_restart_request+0x1b3/0x260 [rose]
rose_transmit_link+0x31d/0x560 [rose]
rose_write_internal+0x3ab/0x15b0 [rose]
rose_release+0x2b2/0x4b0 [rose]
Load the pointer once in the three walkers and use that value, and add
the missing NULL test to ax25_send_to_raw(). The ax25_dev itself cannot
go away under the walker: ax25_kill_by_device() has to take
ax25_list_lock again, in ax25_cb_del(), before the device teardown gets
as far as freeing it.
The oops above was obtained on 6.12.94 with KASAN, after 382 seconds of
the syzbot C reproducer of the ax25_find_cb() use-after-free report,
with the interface brought up again in a loop, while testing an earlier
version of the next patch. With this series the same test runs for 600
seconds without an oops.
