Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: tcp: fix race in IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 03:45:42 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421840742.4832.24.camel@edumazet-glaptop2.roam.corp.google.com> (raw)

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

IPv6 TCP sockets store in np->pktoptions skbs, and use skb_set_owner_r()
to charge the skb to socket.

It means that destructor must be called while socket is locked.

Therefore, we cannot use skb_get() or atomic_inc(&skb->users)
to protect ourselves : kfree_skb() might race with other users
manipulating sk->sk_forward_alloc

Fix this race by holding socket lock for the duration of
ip6_datagram_recv_ctl()

 Since this bug is very old, feel free to apply on net-next ;)
