Subject: [PATCH] udp_bpf: fix use-after-free in udp_bpf_recvmsg()
Date: Thu,  2 Apr 2026 10:39:28 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402050928.32946-1-kartikey406@gmail.com> (raw)

udp_bpf_recvmsg() calls sk_msg_recvmsg() without holding lock_sock(),
unlike tcp_bpf_recvmsg() which properly acquires lock_sock() before
calling __sk_msg_recvmsg(). This allows concurrent tasks to race inside
sk_msg_recvmsg() on the same psock ingress queue, where one task can
free msg_rx via kfree_sk_msg() while another task is still reading it
via sk_msg_elem(), causing a slab-use-after-free.

Fix this by adding lock_sock()/release_sock() around the sk_msg_recvmsg()
path in udp_bpf_recvmsg(), consistent with tcp_bpf_recvmsg(). Also make
udp_msg_wait_data() release lock_sock() before sleeping and reacquire it
after waking, so it can be called with the socket lock held, consistent
with how tcp_msg_wait_data() uses sk_wait_event() which does the same
internally.

Note: syzbot testing shows a separate pre-existing warning:
  sk->sk_forward_alloc
  WARNING: net/ipv4/af_inet.c:162 inet_sock_destruct
This warning triggers from the idle CPU path (pv_native_safe_halt)
and is unrelated to this patch. It appears to be a pre-existing
memory accounting issue in the UDP sockmap path that requires
separate investigation.
